Got updated today to the new Firefox Quantum browser.
Their claim that it is a lot faster than the previous version has been borne out by my experience to date plus some other helpful features

I've been using it since that day, and I have to say, what a stupid, moronic browser interface this is. They even went back to square tabs - fast, yes, but fast and useless. I need to find the 56.0.2 executable again, I can't stand this thing. It's apparently so bad that 58 is already in beta4

I installed it a few days ago, it is much faster and as the move has been transparent to me - I do not notice I am using a new version, except for speed - I am happy with it. Yes, there is something now in black and white on top ...

I've been running FF Quantum for a few days now and am pleasantly surprised. With previous versions of FF I always ended up returning to Chrome for the much quicker page loading times despite some issues Chrome has displaying specific content. Quantum loads pages as quickly as I've experienced and compatibility seems excellent. If only it had translation capability of Chrome but I guess no browser is best across the board, Quantum is now my preferred and default browser.

All good so far with Quantum here: certainly a bit quicker than old Firefox, and way better than safari, which like all apple software now is very poor.

Has anyone done a compare with internet explorer, or with restored vintages like Netscape?
