It's only a number, not an indication of one being 'faster'. Chrome started the 6 week release cycle before Firefox jumped on the bandwagon, that's why Chrome's milestone numbers are higher.

What's more, you should compare same products. Fireofx and Chrome is not the same product, so the numbers can't explain if the one is faster that the other. On the other hand, comparing Firefox 33 and Firefox 37, then I guess 37 would be faster. It's simple mathematics. :p

interestingly it looks like ebay.co.uk is blocking adblockers. I have tried with adguard adblocker and adblock plus. I have tried with chrome too. The page sometimes renders for about 1 second then goes completely blank. I think ebay is doing this on purpose, neowin should contact ebay and ask them, could be a big story.

It's working fine here, Chrome & Firefox with AdGuard and IE on another system with just a TPL. Network issues maybe between you and them?

Thanks , boys .

Here's what I wanted to know .

It wouldn't be a Mozilla announcement without commentors who don't understand it threatening to switch to Chrome.

They'll be upset when they find out that Google wants to do the exact same thing.

Edit: And also the random people talking about how it'll break XP and years old Android phones, and how IPv6 can't be rolled out because they don't understand it.

whose uBlock addon is everyone using? gorhills or chris's ?

I still use the standalone Adguard app. Block ads in every browser and even softwares that you can add to it to filter (I also use it to block ads on the spotify windows player).

Really good and frees resources from your browser, as you don't have to load any extra extansions.

I am using uBlock Origin. 

 

As I stated in another thread, the real question for me about desktop browsers is, ironically, on mobile. How stable, fast, and does it sync. The last time I checked, the Firefox mobile browser was very klunky. It was slow, frequently froze/crashed. I looked out on the Firefox forum and people still seem to be having these problems. Also, for some reason, sync has stopped working for some people where it was previously working.

 

The sad thing is, the Firefox desktop browser seems to be really solid. I really want to use it. But Chrome allows you to sync your bookmarks and history. I'm hoping Mozilla get's these mobile problems solved because I really like the desktop version. 

Ehh, I haven't had many problems with the mobile version, all the issues I did have were caused by faults in Adroid itself (e.g. the base OS claiming 80% of the device memory, so Firefox/Chrome would crash from OOM issues if you opened more than 3 tabs)

Syncing on the Android release is a bit odd, since it's handled by a system level component rather than as part of Firefox, it can sync when Firefox isn't running, but it's on its own schedule. So unlike the desktop versions where it can sync right after you bookmark something, the mobile release waits for Android to start a sync (As far as I can tell)

seems a fair few use uBlock. guess i made the right choice in ditching ABP in favor of uBlock.

 

just one other question, does anyone have the DownThemAll Nightly-Trunk .xpi handy? 

not to worry, i got the Nightly- Trunk of DTA now

    • You can't remove Safari though. Or almost any other bundled app for that matter, and pretty much all of them are useless to me (and there are is a heap of them compared to Windows). I'll much rather take Edge than Safari, at least it can be highly customized vs. Safari. I'll take a PC with ten Edges over a Mac any day though as I can't stand all the limitation and painfully frustrationg restriction that make me dislike their stuff with a burning passion, iOS included (especially iOS).

    • Glow 26.9 by Razvan Serea Glow provides detailed reporting on every hardware component in your computer, saving you valuable time typically spent searching for CPU, motherboard, RAM, graphics card, and other stats. With Glow, all the information is conveniently presented in one clean interface, allowing you to easily access and review the comprehensive hardware details of your system. Glow provides detailed information on various system aspects, including OS, motherboard, processor, memory, graphics card, storage, network, battery, drivers, and services. The well-organized format ensures easy access to the required information. You can export all the gathered data to a plain text file, facilitating sharing with others for troubleshooting purposes. No installation needed. Just decompress the archive, launch the executable, and access computer-related information. Glow runs on Windows 11 and Windows 10 64-bit versions. Glow 26.9 changelog: New Features The processor hardware detection engine has been significantly enhanced beyond traditional Intel and AMD architectures. Native support is now available for modern platforms such as Apple Silicon (M-Series) and the newly introduced NVIDIA Spark. In addition, all ARM-based processors can now be accurately distinguished between ARM32 and ARM64 architectures, providing precise hardware reporting. This marks a major milestone for Glow's hardware detection capabilities. The RAM manufacturer identification algorithm has been expanded. JEDEC vendor codes for popular brands such as Patriot, PNY, Team Group, GeIL, Lexar (Longsys), and Asgard/Gloway have been integrated into the database. This significantly reduces the likelihood of incorrect or "Unknown Manufacturer" results and improves overall hardware detection accuracy. New Public IP Address and Internet Service Provider (ISP) features have been added to the Network section. To ensure reliability, this information is retrieved from the trusted service ipwho.is. When Hiding Mode is enabled, no requests are sent and these features remain hidden, as they may expose sensitive information. The search engine used in the Installed Drivers, Installed Services, and Installed Applications sections has been enhanced. You can now perform more flexible and accurate searches using initials, partial matches, and loosely arranged character sequences. The TS Preloader loading bar has been rebuilt using our modern TS Custom Controls graphics library, developed entirely in-house. As a result of this infrastructure upgrade, the loading bar now features smooth rendering and rounded corners that align with the visual style of Windows 11. [TS Updater] A new validation algorithm has been added to check whether the target application is currently running before the update process begins. Bug Fixes Resolved a condition that could prevent TS Preloader from shutting down safely during rare application crash scenarios. Fixed a text alignment issue in the Network section affecting the display of DNS addresses. Alignment is now rendered correctly. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue that could prevent the updated application's executable "*.exe" file from being located after the update process. [TS Updater] Fixed a bug that could leave outdated "*.sha256" files in the application directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed a rare issue that could cause subfolders to be moved into the root directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue during the first launch that could cause flickering and a temporary white window appearance due to Windows Defender interactions. Changes A small improvement has been made to the internet connectivity detection algorithm. Connectivity checks are now performed in the background with minimal impact on the user interface thread. The keyboard shortcuts in the top menu have been reorganized and simplified to provide a consistent experience across all Türkaysoft applications and to avoid potential conflicts with standard Windows shortcuts. The TS Preloader splash image has been updated with a Türkiye-themed stadium design to celebrate Türkiye's qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup—its first appearance in 24 years. Congratulations, Türkiye! The TS Custom Controls module has been updated to version 26.6, delivering improved stability and a more polished visual appearance. [TS Updater] The application icon has been redesigned to provide a more modern and refined look. Note: Always unzip the program before using it. Otherwise you may get an error.
