RE: mastodon.social/@Gargron/11573…
I have to admit, the performance of a Chromium-based browser compared to Firefox is abysmal. I don't have that many tabs but it lags a lot and the browser constantly puts tabs in hibernation to save memory--something I've never needed with Firefox. So all of you Chrome users live like this? No wonder RAM is in high demand.

I've finally switched to the @Vivaldi@vivaldi.net browser. I've been using Firefox for as long as I've been on the internet, but the focus on AI means it's no longer the browser for me.Eugen Rochko (Mastodon)

most english prefixes have a single, unchanging meaning (more or less, don't @ me about "inflammable"). anti-blah is always in opposition to blah. pre-blah is always before blah.
the "girl" suffix is an outlier. the "girl" in "girlboss" (assertive, independent) has little in common with the "girl" in "girldinner" (hasty, improper), which has little in common with the girl in "girlfriend" (partner who is a woman). the "girl" prefix is exceedingly useful for creating new distinguished categories, but unlike other prefixes, it has no fixed meaning. i therefore propose we use the "girl" prefix to distinguish words with competing definitions:
- a "roguelike" is no longer "a game like rogue". to refer to these "traditional" or "old school" roguelikes, we can use the term "girlroguelike".
- the kudzu-like spread of US english has corrupted "truck" to mean "ute caricature". what the brits call a "lorry", the rest of us should call a "girltruck".
- one of computer chips, poker chips, potato chips (hot), potato chips (cold), or golf chips will become "girlchips".

However for me, Vivaldi has a great productivity integration. We spend lot of time in browsers and having my mail, calendar and other things like that in one place does save me time.
It was my main reason to choose it.

All AI features can be disabled directly in about:config (my choice)

in reply to Eugen Rochko • • •LibreWolf is firefox based, doesn't currently have AI, and supports uBlock (I think it may come by default but I install it a weird way so I'm not sure).
Can't tell you about the rest of it. Not sure if it not having AI is just a face thing or not, but I never have to look at it (except it's in all the search engines now too and librewolf clears preferences that turn it off by default).

I use LibreWolf differently normally in private browsing mode for searches, route planning or reading the news.
Especially where a website makes you choose between accepting tracking or logging in.
I have other browsers installed for single uses - Chromium for Wire IM and nothing else.
I have noticed that the Helium browser (not using Helium services) feels much faster than Chromium.

UgoogledChromium is lighter on memory than both firefox and vivaldi.
It also is quiet, aka not transmitting your data anywhere unless you tell it to do so.
