Steal Chromes JavaScript engine, keep everything else

Compile Chromium with Firefox branding

They're rewriting the engine in Rust. While that inherently isn't gonna make it faster, they have a reason to rewrite everything and optimize it for parallelism. It's very promising I'd say.

I don't get this meme.

It's the fastest browser I've used.

When will they finish that? I've been hearing that for a year. Meanwhile, Chrome keeps gaining market share.

By using old versions.

Wrong. Nightly is way faster, almost on par with Chromium

Does rewriting the Firefox in Rust has anything to do with SJW movement?

How can a beta version be faster than its stable variant?

This is what I always ask and I never get an answer

Best Firefox fork bois?

Because its' e10s is way better compared to stable. Nightly is months ahead code-wise so it almost always has better hardware accel support and so on.

Are you pretending to be dumb?

No it isn't. Loading a boards catalog on Sup Forums takes forever. Whereas it's instantaneous on chrome

Sup Forums please leave

Its someone else, faggot

Upgrade your internet and PC.

Wow! Magic

It's been under development since 2013 actually. I can only assume they were too busy with Firefox OS to take it seriously though.

Fun fact: JavaScriptCore is actually faster than V8 on average.

There's actually already a few projects underway to improve performance. I don't think Sup Forums could really give a useful answer because we're a bunch of dumbasses here.

Why not just answer the question instead of replying with insults?
If Firefox 51 stable is slower than its previous versions, why would Nightly 54 be faster than 51 stable?

>why would Nightly 54 be faster than 51 stable?

Because Mozilla continues to make progress on multi-process functions and other engine improvements. That simple.

Currently trying Nightly, surprisingly fast, almost as fast as Chromium (though Chromium opens much faster on first boot)
I'm afraid of adding any addons though, I don't wanna lose this speed

>tfw using a meme browser

>still can't detach and drag tabs from one monitor to another

I'm pretty sure if you just post that on their forums they'll add it.

Atleast install uBlock Origin, set it to advanced mode and block third party frames (and 3rd party JS if you can deal with it). It will be even faster, no joke.

You should use Opera then.

divide the version number by 10

Chropera.

Opera is using blink and is not based on chromium.

Fire 90% of the employees (including managers).

Make it Chromium based.

Please do. That would be nice. Tab detaching like chrome.

I'm too much of an autist to register and ask for a feature, sorry user.

Even Aurora gives better JS performance than Stable. I imagine Nightly is even more optimized.
