"Firefox Quantum makes Chrome look old"
If you've paid any attention to my WA posts, you'll know I'm a diehard fan of Firefox.
This month's release of version 57, Quantum, gives even more people reason to love my favorite browser.
- Faster page loads
- Less memory usage
- Faster tab switching
- Still has private browsing with tracking protection
- Take and share screenshots directly from Firefox
- Sync your devices
- Pocket: "view your articles, videos and pages across any device".
- Gaming & VR: "built-in support for WASM and WebVR. No additional installation needed!"

If it's been a while since you used Firefox, give Quantum a try. You may be pleasantly surprised.

From what it is comparing it to that seems to be a direct competitor of chrome instead of just switch to chrome I will just what the new chrome update will bring.

Hi, Jhurreea.
If you prefer Chrome, that sounds like a fine plan. :)
Happy Thanksgiving!

I downloaded and am happy I did. These days one can always use 2 browsers and mine are Chrome and Firefox.

Hi, Roger.
Happy Thanksgiving!
I like Chrome too. I've just always been fondest of Firefox - even when:
* it was slow as molasses in winter; and
* hogged resources; and
* instead of alerting you a new update was out - either froze or crashed instead.
I think a big reason I've always been so supportive of Firefox is because Mozilla is so active in the advocacy of net neutrality. The plugins and customizations are nice too. :)

Hi, Michael.
That's true. I don't do it nearly often enough.
Mostly, I forget to do it at all. Thank goodness update notices pop up. Otherwise, I'd probably be using browser versions from years ago, lol.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi, Irv.
I just updated to Quantum a few hours ago, but I'm loving it. Glad I'm not the only one. :)
What browser were you using before? (I was mostly using Firefox 56.2).

Hi'ya Randy.
Thank you and you're welcome. :)
Chrome is a great browser. I really like it.
BUT - Firefox will be my favorite for as long as their core business principals remain unchanged.
Happy Holidays!
