purringcat 7 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Thanks gogo Did you run the ookla test? The new Firefox 54 Mbps and Google 65 Mbps The new FF sounds like it has some nice new features tho... Plus, when my cable co came out to fix their broken modem, they charged me $45 for using Google instead of FF. Said that's why their lines were so slow. 1 Link to comment

If it were me, I'd complain up the line to their bosses. The speed of software on your computer has no effect on the speed bits travel down the line to your computer. BTW, I use FF all the time and have noticed a small speed increase with the new version. Trouble is, everything is different now. Things don't work the way I want them to or don't work at all. 1 Link to comment

I haven't yet...but I have noticed that for sites like DarkMaters, wiki and other forums, the rendering is different..."seems" faster but I dont have specific personal numbers yet... am just putting in all my book marks to see how I like the feel...LOVE how FF allows us to choose to instantly change to the window of whatever tab I open up by depressing the mouse wheel...one of my absolute favorite browser tricks of all time gogo 1 Link to comment

Schot has never switched (sold as he crows :P) out to google... for a developer like him, the FF tools are indespensible gogo Link to comment

It does seem faster. Edited November 19, 2017 by purringcat add stuff Link to comment
