👽 Paul Webb Has anyone tried the new Firefox? It's friggin' amazing. Like, I'll switch to it tmrw from Vivaldi good. Obviously, it's still in beta so some things need fixing but I'm liking it a lot.

🦿 Lucian Marin I like the new interface design (design.firefox.com...) a lot more than the performance improvements. I will wait the day when they drop XUL completely and the interface will be built in HTML.

Mark Dain Firefox Quantum [?]. I've been using the nightly builds for some time, it's renewed so much hope I had for Firefox beating the "but Chrome is faster" myth - it only feels faster. Mozilla overhauled the UI to be just as slick. I can't wait to see Firefox in 2018 now they're working on "HolyJit" which is a new JS engine, which, just like Stylo, is written in Rust! Safer and faster than Chrome in the long run, that's my bet.

☕ David Antoine I'll wait the final release to try it out. I'm quite happy with Opera on my old MacBook Pro, for now... If it feels faster I'll probably use it.

👽 Paul Webb I really want an Electron version of HolyJit. Slack is TERRIBLE on desktop and I suspect it's a mix of poor coding and Electron's Chromium overhead.

Nkrs I tried it on my Windows 7 machine at work and it feels like it was designed for a completely different operating system. It's not bad but it feels like they just copied Edge's interface.

John Olinda Not yet, I'm holding out for the stable release for the moment. But maybe I'll install it on my work computer to see what all the fuss is about.
