Well, did they drop firefox too?  I'm apparently waiting for the adobe drm thing to install...i don't think it needs to install.  I think it's already installed.

 

Maybe drop 64bit firefox?  ...I got it working in 32bit, 64bit seems broken at the moment.

it's my first time on aurora channel. I had a feeling the UI was not for the final release. :) It looks way better than Australis.

if you go into Addons > Appearence . you'll see 2 things there named. DEFAULT & DEVELOPER EDITION  , default reverts it back to Australis.

Thanks for that. Won't switch to Australis if I have a choice. e10s works really well with my usual websites and add-ons so v46 will be great (at least for me).

Opera just introduced native ad-blocking feature for faster browsing

 

“Native” means unmatched speed vs extensions, since the blocking happens at the web engine level & are the first major browser vendor to integrate an ad-blocking feature.

 

Not to e confused with Tracking protection of firefox(it a different beast).

 

Opera’s ad-blocking feature is on average 45% faster compared to browsing on Google Chrome with the ABP extension.

 

Firefox now needs to expand it Tracking protection more & maybe add a native adblocker?

Jan de Mooij just filed a bug (with patch) to unify IC generation for Baseline and Ion. As he explains in the bug, Baseline and Ion ICs currently share very little code, have different limitations and a lot of boilerplate. As a result, it's too easy to introduce errors in one of the two, it's too hard to introduce new ones, and they generally don't take care of all edge cases, leading to performance cliffs. Jan's patch adds a new, simple bytecode that can be used by both JITs to generate the same ICs - letting Baseline quickly generate its infallible code, and Ion generate its more optimized code from the same information.

I'm not sure how much this overlaps with Hannes Verschore's (h4writer) shared stubs work (which are now on by default, but not yet implemented for every IC) - perhaps it leverages the same infrastructure. Either way it should make ICs much more robust, less prone to error and, in some cases, even faster.

Also, this didn't move the needle on any benchmarks, but I recently simplified the way the GC allocates objects from Arenas in bug 1250634 and bug 1251833. I'm happy with how it turned out, and it gave me some ideas for giving the GC its own malloc implementation (which might well improve allocation performance - if it pans out).

    • Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52

      By wingliston · Posted

      It's time to say goodbye to Edge and switch back to Firefox. There's no way to disable the ugly rounded corners that appear everywhere. Not even on the page frame. No one uses screens with rounded corners, you idiots.

    • Gen Atlas is the next game from Shadow of the Colossus creator, this time with giant robots

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Gen Atlas is the next game from Shadow of the Colossus creator, this time with giant robots by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The mind behind widely well-received games like Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and The Last Guardian, Fumito Ueda, showed up at Summer Game Fest today, and that was to reveal his latest project. Being developed by genDESIGN, Gen Atlas is incoming with what looks to be plenty of mech and robot action. Watch the reveal trailer, which makes not much sense, above. The game will have players waking up on an abandoned planet where deserted facilities and grand designs from the original creators remain. Soon, they will stumble upon a colossal robot, from which players gain access to the power to change the world. "Across an endless expanse of time, the remnants of those forgotten constructs begin to move once more," adds the studio. The gameplay snippets seen in the trailer show the player character climbing giant robots (as expected from the creator), while also controlling these titans somehow as well. This is a fully single-player open-world adventure. “The team and I are grateful to all the fans who’ve been eager to learn more about our game,” says Fumito Ueda, CEO and creative director of genDESIGN. “Their passion and enthusiasm has always motivated and inspired us. We hope to share an experience that inspires moments of quiet wonder and discovery.” Before gaining the name Gen Atlas, Ueda first announced this project back in 2024 with the codename Project Robot. Interestingly, this will be a project being funded and published by Epic Games, which should mean that a Steam release is out of the question. Gen Atlas will be releasing on Epic Games Store, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced just yet.

      How backwards can you have it? Yes, Linux was gaining because of Linux handhelds and the push for gaming compatibility, but that's not desktop users, it barely converts anyone who owns a SteamDeck, though it helps for those who wanted to do it, but anyways, the AI+RAM debacle helped Linux because people can't easily upgrade their PCs easily and many hate AI so they'd be incentivized to try Linux.
