Why You Suddenly Need To Delete Google Chrome

It's still experimental, though; the mozilla wiki page for Project Fission got its most recent update in May.

As an FYI for The Community:

The default profile for 91.0.2 has fission.autostart and fission.autostart.session both false with the latter locked.

In my profile, where in Firefox Experiments, Fission is enabled, fission.autostart.session is true and locked and fission.autostart is by default false where it can be set true.

So far, no problems with it since May with ~50 GB of web surfing to date.

I know this is off topic, but once Fission goes default a separate topic might be devoted to it.

Cheers.

 

There was a series of posts regarding Firefox Site Isolation/ Fission in the "New Firefox Browser Version Released" thread, most of them May 18 - May 20, one later post June 2.
Also there were Firefox Site Isolation/ Fission posts in the "Mozilla Firefox" thread, but that was much longer ago.

 

Same here. I've enabled fission.autostart and it works without any problems. AFAIR, webrender must be enabled as well. The latter is planned to be enabled for all supported platforms in FF 92.

 

You're welcome! Btw., I forgot to mention containers which aren't available in other browsers as well.

 

Thanks, I've been reading a bit about that. Firefox not only runs better than Vivaldi on my MacBook, it gets a better score on browser audit. Looks like Firefox is back!

 

Yes, Firefox got a really good score this time on Browser Audit. In latest version (91.0.2), Fission already came enabled (default). Definitely feel a bit safer plus it runs like a charm. No more Sandboxie (for now).

So, I don't mind in this context that Firefox is sort of following Chrome. But JUST in this context.

 

I know what you mean. All it needs now is for the Mozilla dev's to stop smoking tea leaves or something.

 

Not yet in Firefox 91.0.2 on Kubuntu.
Perhaps because of the Known Issues of Fission on Linux?
But that's off topic in this thread, and already discussed in the "New Firefox Browser Version Released" thread.

 

As mentioned, no problems here on Arch Linux with KDE on Wayland. It seems that that site is not up-to-date (last edit 4 months ago). You can try to enable it manually.

 

Thanks, summerheat.
Good that you noticed no problems. And yes, you are right that the Project Fission page was last updated months ago.
And also, yes, I know I can enable Firefox Site Isolation/ Fission manually. In reply to plat1098 I just wanted to mention that Site Isolation/ Fission wasn't enabled by default in Firefox 91.0.2 on Kubuntu.

 

It's very simple, if you don't care about privacy, you should be using Chrome. From what I understood, other Chromium based browsers like Edge, Vivaldi, Opera and Brave are just as secure. I'm also using Google Search and I don't mind them storing my info, but it goes a little bit too far when the browser itself is doing the tracking and probably recording every site that I visit.
