Life comes at you fast when you live on the web. Just a few weeks back we told you about\u00a0Project Uptime<\/a> and multi-process browsing<\/a>: two improvements that make browsing in Firefox smoother, more reliable and less crash-prone than ever. We also launched a few lil’\u00a0video promos<\/a> to spread the word. (Scroll down for the two newest ones.)<\/p>\n

Since then, we\u2019ve kept busy and issued the largest change to Firefox code yet<\/strong>. It\u2019s called \u2018Electrolysis \u2019 (or E10s)<\/a>, and we think it nails the sweet spot between memory and performance. But don\u2019t take our word for it, here\u2019s a sample of the nice things internet folks are saying:<\/p>\n

“[Firefox 54] includes the next major phase of multi-process support, which streamlines memory use, improving responsiveness and speed.”

\u201cWith rising privacy concerns, people are quick in making a switch to the browser which provides them with the best cover\u2014Firefox seems to take the cake here.\u201d

This is, by far, the fastest and most reliable release of Firefox I’ve ever used. In fact, it’s faster than Chrome\u2014an impressive feat.

And we\u2019re just getting started.<\/a> If you\u2019ve been shy about switching browsers, now\u2019s the time to really<\/em> think about the kind of internet you wanna support. Stay indie or surrender control? Pick a side or stand by until something happens to you\u2013and your data? For now, you still have a choice.<\/p>\n

As for us, we\u2019re sticking by our indie, anti-corporate roots and we\u2019re browsing for good. Join us.<\/a><\/p>\n
