People saying FF is slower: like how much slower? are we taking like 14 millisecond slower? Cause everything seems pretty instantaneous here. Maybe its because i'm old enough to remember DSL and 56k internet, but I think FF os crazy fast and even if Chrome would be 25% faster I wouldn't switch to evil google for that.

61 Firefox windows and 427 tabs (don't judge, I know I have a problem) and I have no performance complaints - admittedly, not all of them are active/rendering simultaniously, but still...

Firefox (and its forks) have been my go-to for 15 years.

I'm actually interested what you have open with this many windows.

indeed! had I not posted this, I would be asking the same question!

so, its quite a bit more mundane than you might have hoped for.

a mix of...

~40% locally served internal pages (mostly zabbix, mail/web server monitoring, some development pages, etc).
~60% non-local pages - currently lots of retro computing stuff, debian stuff, github (sigh)

the most recent page I opened was an archive.org page on TI-84 firmware disassembly.

I make heavy use of Firefox containers for separation. honestly, Firefox is an absolute workhorse for me. if the Firefox ecosystem were to fall into the void, I would be dead in the water.

That's a really interesting set of pages!

I remember opening hundreds of random github repos and starring them for "further research", and never looking at them again.

Also yes, life without Firefox would be miserable.
