Jaybonaut Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Yes I have, the lightning version. Definitely noticeably faster than FF but I have to admit I have not loaded it up with any extensions or bookmarks yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spaceelf Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 I'll probably set it to default unless it annoys me at some point, but I don't know if there's any point to using it over anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cork1958 Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Hmm, missed this when it was originally posted in that news section. Trying it now. About time a different browser not based on Chrome came along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was more or less saying this is a newer one that I hadn't heard of before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon H Supervisor Posted November 6, 2023 Supervisor Share Posted November 6, 2023 tried out the browser for a bit but there is one deal breaker for me right now keeping me from using it full time on my home PC. It doesn't support the PWA extension properly yet. Wish Mozilla hadn't decided to drop native PWA support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spaceelf Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Like most Firefox based browsers it's good most of the time... I already got rid of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish Mozilla hadn't decided to drop native PWA support It does support native PWA that's you don't need PWA addon, and you can install PWA addon too just like Firefox: https://github.com/Floorp-Projects/Floorp/discussions/411#discussioncomment-7800301 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
