Well, I was going to air some grievances about gamers, but Firefox decided it was going to be an asshole and eat it by crashing when I was almost done. It volunteered as tribute, one might say.
Firefox, I've gotten to know you and the wonders of tabbed browsing for the last decade. It was amazing. Revolutionary, even! But in the last couple of years, you've changed to the point where I don't even recognize you anymore. Ever since version 30, all you've done is get more and more unstable. The more updates you get, the more prone to collapsing you are under your own weight. Especially now with version 34. Each time I start you up, it's a total crapshoot. It holds an entire processor core hostage. It typically takes several minutes to load up instead of under 30 seconds, like even version 33 did. More often than not, it'll crash within 5 minutes even though it hasn't reached a useable state.
The thing you tout most- the wide world of extensions- has become your poison. I've cut back to the bare minimum, but some of the ones I truly cannot live without are still poorly written. I don't have the knowledge of how to fix them, but your staff probably does. It'd be a better use of their time than some sort of
chat client nobody's going to use. (Seriously, I didn't know that was a thing until I read the patch notes about 30 minutes ago.)
I can hear a lot of people crying out, “But Keelkaimum, use Chrome instead!” To which I reply, “It's pronounced /`kwel·kaɪ·mə/. Get it right and pronounce the fucking U.” Second, I've tried many side tab extensions but can't find a single one worth a shit for Chrome. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear them!
That's it for now. I'm heading off to fail at the Feats of Strength.
