No punny title, I'm just excited! OpenType Font Variations allow a single font file to contain multiple instances of the same font, encoding the differences between instances. You can learn more in Josh Marinacci's post on the new CSS Shapes tooling from yesterday. There are of course great docs on all of this, but Firefox 62 also includes new tooling to both inspect and visually manipulate CSS Shapes values. There are properties for basic shapes all the way up to complex polygons. For instance, in the above screenshot and linked demo, the text is wrapping to the shape of the grapes vs the image's border. Personalize Firefox with your favorite extras that help you do you.Īccess your bookmarks, open tabs and passwords across all your devices.ĬSS Shapes lets a floated element sculpt the flow of content around it beyond the classic rectangular bounding box we've been constrained to.

Because the Internet waits for no one.įirefox Quantum's new engine uses 30% less memory than Chrome, so other programs won't slow down during browsing. So unfortunately, Waterfox seems to be outgrowing me at a pretty rapid pace, and I'm constantly forced to use my backup of Opera even though I hate the layout, and I know it's probably logging every move I make, I just need that 1.5 gb of memory for other things.Powered by a new, cutting-edge engine, Firefox has doubled its speed from last year. If I tried to switch to another app I'd be looking at a beachball for ten minutes, I can't even imagine what it would be like to try to work while it was playing video. And, say I wanted to have a baseball game running in the background while I did something more productive. It launches using a not great but acceptable half gig, but after a day of average usage, it's usually sucking up triple that amount. Speaking of which, boy does this thing piss away memory. I understand that Alex really needs to change the icon, so maybe he can have a "Make My Icon" contest or something. The new icon really looks like a blue fox urinating.
This version has been out for 20 days or so, so this isn't just a first impression. Moreover, I was using Waterfox Classic to be as close as possible to pre-Quantum Firefox, so when I read that it should now be considered "best effort", that achieved to decide me. I'm not saying that Waterfox is worse than other browsers, privacy wise, but I'm simply not convinced that it's better than Firefox for that matter - provided you use all the necessary addons and set the right settings in about:config. :-o I've not been convinced by his answers to the doubts expressed by the other users, and while I've been a happy user for years I finally switched back to Firefox a few months ago. The dev used to put an emphasis on privacy but since he recently partnered with a firm that arose some doubt about data collection (System1), he wrote in a forum that we users had misunderstood and Waterfox never claimed to be a privacy focused browser.
No need to download external packs or weird configuration files!Īfter a few years using Waterfox instead of Firefox Quantum, it became harder and harder to tell the difference and why, in the end, I was using it.
Too much focus on privacy and the web becomes too broken to use. Waterfox is all about balance of privacy and useability.
