Subject: Re: Why is Firefox so slow (and degrades over time)?
I've said the same thing lately for Chromium, seems most websites are
suddenly "broken" as far as scripting lately since the 30-ish train of
chromium. I started using actual Chrome, which seems *better*, but
sadly I'm finding myself having to go to firefox to even render/use
various sites lately. Seeing this isn't encouraging... I can never
tell now how much is the site being broken, slow, or my browser being
simply weird.

Anyone else seeing this? Wondering if there was like a fundamental
change that goes against modern trends in (highly) scripted sites in
chrome derivitives.

The sad trend is every site I encounter wants to pack my browser with
scripts from 20 different sites, and notscript/ghostery/adblock catches
them all, making it even harder to know what is or isn't actually my
issue. I just refuse to *not* run them, as who knows what kind of
things they're doing to track/infect me.

Almost need to sandbox a vm with snapshots as a honeypot just to read
the news, expecting to be infected by legit sites with tracking cookies
and scripts, or worse.
