Firefox bye-bye
20170207 十三年來從來沒想過有一天會道別 Firefox。但不知道 Firefox 何時才會改善 RAM 使用量及 CPU 效能,然後現在又公告 57 的時候全面停用 XUL addon,不少 addon 可能都會死掉,但開發者仍然不以為意,所以我今晚就想:除了肥大的 Chrome 及緩慢且一樣肥大的 Firefox、了無新意的 Safari 外,沒有其他好用的瀏覽器了嗎?
結果目前找到 Vivaldi。
20170210 今天想去回應那位答覆我說停用 XUL 合情合理的開發者1),說我已決定用鍵盤投票改用 Vivaldi,所以就算他們把 XUL 殺了,我也不再想用 Firefox 了。不過後來算了,再回也無法否認他說的一些點。只是我注重的是別的。

未完成的回文:
Hi Matt,I appreciate that you took time to provide all these explanations, and indeed I have to agree with most of them. That said, what I may have a different opinion is with the last paragraph.In short, I think the possibility of customizing the UI in great scale with XUL addon, is missing in other major competitors of Fx. Yeah XUL addons may be the reason why Firefox is so slow and huge on my laptop (I’m not sure because I’m not deep in web design and browser tech), but abandoning XUL framework and losing the possibilities of using those great addons like Beyond Australis, is also actually making me start to find other alternative browsers. Actually I’m writing this in Vivaldi right now, and I have decided to say goodbye to Firefox — temporarily if after Firefox 57 there are indeed some powerful new addons replacing all those discontinued addons with support of your implemented APIs and a faster indeed Firefox — or forever if some abilities and possibilities are forever lost in Firefox and making Firefox no different with other browsers.People might say go ahead, but just like you said…
