Comment Hurry before they savage a great browser! (Score 1) 77

Quick, stop Firefox auto-updating before they crack the AI into it, turning it into a useless product.

1) Firefox handles memory better than ANY other browser. Try putting 4000 rows by 200 columns into https://jacobsm.com/browtest3.... and see if your browser can handle it.

2) Firefox can loop WAV files perfectly using its HTML5 AUDIO tag. Check out some of the loops at the top of https://jacobsm.com/mjmidi.htm . All other browsers have a gap at the loop point, whereas only Firefox is seamless.

Both the desktop and the Android versions of the Firefox browser can do the 2 points above. That's why it needs to be preserved - it's unique in the field. It's not perfect - look at how they handle HTML INPUT LISTs, but it's the best of the bunch overall, IMO.

BTW, the large table came about from a real world example where we have to produce a vast data dump every day for one of our clients - as they crept past 2000 records, we started getting problems with Chrome producing the file. I found the memory problem, reported it to the brick wall known at the Chromium bug report facility, and have heard nothing since. Switched to Firefox and no more memory problems.

Comment Re:Constitutional protection! Ha! (Score 1) 543

The knub of the arguments here are that a large gathering of people in a public place which is done for fun or uplifting purposes, is now totally illegal in the UK and most states in the US, because of fears of violent uprising or coup-like activity. The fault is in the authorities who do not deploy sufficiently well funded technology to detect terrorists, not in the constitutional rights of peace-loving, fun-making masses. Again, governments ensure that the masses suffer because of a few nasty individuals, yet there is still one law for the poor, and another for the rich and powerful. Huh! Time to drop out of this sham.
