what I like about FireFox compared to ANY other browser is the fact that it comes with only basic (yet powerful) features. If you want more you just go download the extensions. Opera might have 'em all in one package, but its considered bloated to someone who only needs a 10th of them.

On FFox they (extensions) are there or they aren't, AT ALL. While on Opera you have to turn them ON or OFF... either way they're still there !

To me, right after its install, FFox feels robust and clean while Opera feels Bloated and cluttered

I can't stand firefox

the favorites menu is a freaking mess, and it just feels clunky I'll admit that it's better than the old mozilla, but that only because it's trying to copy netcaptor

unfortunately netcaptor doesn't seem to be interested in really adding new features, so although it's my favorite

avant or slime browser, and myie continue to add or improve new features, so for now they will get my votes as best

Opera. Best browser ever with Firefox in 2nd. Opera somehow manages to provide more features in a way it doesnt NEED extensions yet its about half the size of firefox and has an email client, irc client, and rss news reader.

      I just want to know why the volume control feature in the browser version keeps appearing then disappearing, here today - gone tomorrow. Now it's gone again. Annoying as hell.

    • Claude on Windows is eating up massive amounts of RAM, with no way to stop it

      By TheGhostPhantom · Posted

      This article does not make sense and it’s very evident, the bug wasn’t confirmed to exist, because the application itself runs on editions of Windows which make it impossible to run Hyper-V VMs on, “Basically, Claude Desktop on Windows spins up a 1.8GB Hyper-V virtual machine if you use Claude Cowork or agent mode even once.”, suggests the bug is caused by something else otherwise it would only happen to users with the capability of running Hyper-V VMs and that’s only if Hyper-V was enabled which is by default not enabled. The true issue is that the author who reported the bug used the incorrect terminology, it’s actually a container, not a VM that is being started by the way. There were users on macOS reporting the same issue, Hyper-V, doesn’t exist on that platform obviously. Every single user who confirmed the problem in the last week was either using macOS making this issue impossible to be relevant to them, or was a comment talking about WSL, which the author indicated 3 months ago was disabled.
    • Stack Overflow is launching a version of itself for AI agents

      By TheGhostPhantom · Posted

      “To prevent hallucination issues and keep the database clean, the platform uses a multi-agent verification loop to check code quality.” - This absolutely isn’t happening. ”Before the massive rise of LLMs, which tanked its traffic by about 50% over the last couple of years, Stack Overflow was the go-to website for millions of programmers seeking coding solutions.” - It still is trusted, because the community of users, blocked other users from submitting false and misleading answers generated by AI agents that can be convinced something it generated is actually incorrect even if it’s actually correct. The company itself doesn’t know what it wants to be so it keeps trying and failing to introduce AI features to the platform. This effort will also fail, already submitted one successful poison pill, look forward to generating more.
