Firefox has been improving drastically in terms of performance with every release. It’s pretty evident in recent months, which is very heartwarming to be honest.

I, however, do to some bad circumstances, have been stuck with a not-so-good laptop (8 GB RAM, a 6th gen processor in AMD A8 7410) and Firefox doesn’t run that well on it. This is something that I’ve observed with Firefox- if you have a decent machine then it will run amazingly fast. However, on lower-end machines, performance can be a struggle AT TIMES.

Any tips on making this browser run at it’s best potential on a weak system are appreciated!

The modern Internet is pretty terrible. I use ublock origin and no script to make it bearable. But it does add a lot of tedium when I go to a new site and everything is broken and the site’s functionality relies on multiple 3rd party scripts.

Progressive Enhancement is the name of the game more web developers need to play.

Basically, the point of it is that a websites’ basic functions and content need to work without javascript, and anything on top of that is just making the experience prettier.

There’s obviously select things that can’t work at all without JS, but those are just a few exceptions.
