Anyone in Silicon Valley, but especially Sam Altman, Larry Page, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates and anyone who has anything to do with Apple.

Maybe Pale Moon, Basilisk or maybe some WebKit-based browser like LuaKit or similar, or Chawan if u want to go hardcore.

Also please use a WM, not a DE, maybe PekWM if u’re on X11 or something similar on Wayland.

Try to use some tweaks such as Ananicy, Bpftune, gamemode (and use only one or two programs at once), try to get some disk swap, and use ZRAM or ZSwap to avoid overusing your (slow) disk swap.

Oh, well, the fact is that I use Arch btw, so it might have impact on it, maybe. Idk really, because I don’t think that a simply PKGBUILD update would suffice. Maybe just the Debian/Ubuntu artifact was broken?

Well, at least for me it has worked within a few hours.

Yeah, at least they seemed to repair it fast, though

It may be a matter of hardware compatibility, a bug, or an issue during compilation or installation — I am not entirely sure. However, at least in my case, it runs significantly faster than virtually any other Firefox-based browser, including vanilla Firefox. It reduces CPU and GPU load by approximately 5–10%, which is substantial given my setup: an Intel Xeon v4 (Broadwell-EP, v3 SIMD) clocked at just 2.20 GHz (base, up to 2.90 GHz with Turbo Boost), featuring 12 cores and 24 threads, paired with an NVIDIA GTX 1060 (3 GB VRAM).

​Regarding memory consumption, RAM usage does not exceed 4–5 GB, even under a heavy extension load of nearly 100 installed add-ons. That said, this performance might be achieved in part by my custom about:config flags, the use of CachyOS repositories (optimized up to v3), and forced optimized compilation utilizing Mold, LLVM/Clang, Ananicy, and full LTO, among other tweaks, inside of my makepkg.conf (I use Arch, btw 🤪).

I do use Floorp.

It is, by far, the most customizable and power-user friendly Firefox fork, and it has zero telemetry by default, so I do prefer it over vanilla Firefox because of that.

I also value its focus in performance.
