Moz://a Firefox v57 is Fierce : Future of Web?

Since I got my hands on internet on my desktop in 2005, I was a browser fanatic. During that days I used and tried my hands with Avant Browser, Firefox Browser, Maxthon Browser, SeaMelon, SeaMonkey, K-Melon, Opera and many others (I forgot all the names)

Soon I used to like Opera, and I never looked back. Even in 2017 I have a portable Opera 12.x version on my laptop for casual browsing. In 2013 Opera shifted from own Presto engine to Google's Chromium project's forked Blink engine. I had to jump with new Opera 15 but never satisfied as many features stripped off. Some of those lost features were integrated later to Opera 15+ versions.

Opera is still a great browser, and still I am using it along with a portable Opera 12.x version. I never like the Chrome UI, it's too minimalistic.

However I got an Opera alternative - Vivaldi which is made by Opera Software co-founder and former CEO Jon Stephenson von Tetzchner and Tatsuki Tomita. It was launched in April 2016 and packs some great features and more are added by fast updates.



Chrome was never my cup of tea. The main reason was and it is still, too much simplicity. I miss lack of customerization from Chrome, it has high RAM issues on my 4 year old laptop and there is always a privacy concern.

Right now in 2017 I am not happy none of the browsers. At present I have Opera (based on Blink), Opera portable v12.18, Firefox Beta, Vivaldi stable on my laptop.

Why Firefox beta?  The main reason of putting beta release of Mozilla Firefox beta is Firefox Quantam. Mozilla's Firefox is always on my radar list, as it's open source. Opera is now owned by a Chinese company, the only feature I like is their free inbuilt VPN support.

November 14 is the day! Google Chrome users behold! A new thing coming up - Mozilla Firefox Quantum stable version or simply Firefox v57 is to be launched.

It's 2X faster, 30x less memory usage and based on Mozilla labs' Servo Browser, written on Rust. and Mozilla developers fixed 369 performance bugs! You want any thing more?

I am using since its beta release - the mobile version put me, a long term Opera fan, to uninstall Opera Mobile from my mobile.

Rememer Firefox is open sourced, and backed by tons of extensions. All hail to Firefox! Welcome to new chapter of internet browsing!!
