Toot

Written by Thomas Depierre on 2024-08-11 at 18:26

I am now back to Chrome for my laptop. I don't like that. But i watch a lot of YouTube and twitch video, and Firefox has consistently, over the past couple of year, got my laptops to heat a lot while watching one video. Different hardware.

Chrome... Does not. I literally lost a tablet due to Firefox video overheating it so much that the screen unglued from the chassis.

I should investigate and debug it and post on bugzilla, i know but...

I am too burned out for it. If someone want to do it

@Di4na google has a lot of people working on video and chrome and battery life. Like a lot and a lot of them have PhD’s and basically unlimited budgets to squeeze out a few more minutes of performance from your Chromebook or your laptop. As much as I wanna love Firefox… the modern web is so complicated to build a browser for. Witness Microsoft, even they gave up.

@Di4na also I have a suspicion at this point, but the main reason Firefox exist is so that Google can claim they don’t have a browser monopoly.

Mozilla’s revenue heavily reliant on Google (86% in 2022); diversification attempts through services like VPN have been unsuccessful.

Because Google is clearly choosing to pay for this , sorry I mean they’re clearly choosing to pay Firefox to be the default search engine for it.

@kurtseifried they are also paying Safari for the search engine and it is a massive revenue for Apple.

@kurtseifried i do not disagree, but this seems like just not using a native codec right plus a ton of unneeded 3D rendering. Plus memory leak. At this point my Firefox use twice to three time more memory.

@Di4na ça arrive sur toutes les vidéos ?

Tu as pas une extension qui fait des trucs chelou sur YouTube ?

Et sur quelle plate-forme ? Des fois, c'est des accélérations cpu/gpu qui sont pas démarées.

@sylvestre oui. Twitch également. Zero extension chelou. Et vierge sans extension tout pareil.

Plateforme: ici full intel dernière gen sur le dernier laptop, intel qq gen precedentes sur le précèdent je crois, mais je vérifierai.

@Di4na I don't know what the heck Google's done to it, but Youtube is so unresponsive on anything else than Chrome that it's almost unusable. Setting the user agent to present Firefox as Chrome helps slightly, but isn't a solution.

@richcarl it is responsive here. It is just that video, even on non YouTube website, send the laptops to full helicopter on firefox. This is not a google behaviour

@Di4na If you end up wanting a Chrome that's not Google Chrome, Vivaldi works great and the extensions all work with it.
