Hi Lemmy! I’m curious which browser everyone uses? I’m currently on Librewolf, but I try out a variety of different browsers. What browser(s) do you prefer? Do you think blockchain or web3 browsers are the future of browsers?

    Chromium, Firefox sucks big time on the Raspberry Pi 4, webrender would make things much better, except that it doesn’t work, the screen gets distorted and white squares appear instead of the content.

    I kinda miss Firefox, but what am i gonna do? sucks to suck.

      Can you elaborate on what problems you have with Firefox on Raspberry Pi? I often use a Pi400 as my daily desktop with Firefox, and while it frequently slows down, I’ve been attributing that to overly heavy-weight websites and not to the browser itself.

        Well 720p videos makes Firefox to choke, while Chromium can handle 720p60fps without problem.

        Yeah javascript is also kinda bad, Chromium is better in that department too, but the worst part of this is that Firefox only uses CPU mode, without webrender it doesn’t take advantage of the GPU. Raspberry pi’s GPU is not the greatest thing in the world, but it looks like it could help a lot. Chromium definitely takes advantage of the GPU and the experience feels smoother.
