On: It’s time to give Firefox another chance

[gotofritz]

Even if "they were just building a Chrome clone", it would still be valuable because of the privacy concerns

If they could only get near-Chrome speeds with significantly better battery impact that would also be a huge win.

Servo's multi threading actually improves battery life. Not sure how that translates to Firefox.

Right, and even if its latency is, say 1.5X that of Chrome(1), it's still better, for the same reason.

(1) Though I'm sure it's better than that.

[stavros → rdiddly]

That's why I've kept using it despite the slowness, but it's certainly great that now the lag is 0.9x that of Chrome!

what do you mean privacy concerns ? firefox is far from being a privacy browser outside of marketing.

Also chrome has had privacy oriented counterpart since the early days such as srware iron[1].
