Mozilla's Firefox browser is getting a major update, one that would make it faster and snappier than ever.[br][br]The community-driven organization has sifted through all browser elements and tweaked/removed those that made it slow.[br][br]The changes mean that Firefox will load web pages as much as 40-80% faster than they did before.[br][br]Here are the details.[br][br]Idle tab suspension, script delay with Firefox 67[br][br]To deliver the promised performance boost, the latest iteration, dubbed Firefox 67, will suspend idle tabs if 400MB RAM is left on the system.[br][br]This would help with browsing on multiple tabs even on a low-end PC, giving you the option to bring suspended tabs back to life by clicking on them.[br][br]The browser will also delay unnecessary scripts to boost page load times.[br][br]Firefox will also launch more quickly[br][br]Along with script delays and tab suspension, Mozilla has also ensured that Firefox starts in a flash.[br][br]This, as the company says, will be done by skipping a bunch of unnecessary processes that take place when the browser first starts up.[br][br]And, apparently, the capability will boost launch times even for those who have plenty of add-ons installed on Firefox.[br][br]New privacy features added[br][br]Speed isn't the only thing that comes with the latest Firefox update; the browser is also getting some handy privacy features.[br][br]First of all, the browser will have a content blocking feature that would block cryptomining scripts to stop people from using your computer to mine cryptocurrency.[br][br]Secondly, it will block browser-fingerprinting, which allows companies to track your web activity for pushing online adverts[br][br]Move to catch up with Chrome[br][br]The latest improvements in Firefox come just as the browser continues to catch up with Chrome, which already dominates as the most popular browser.[br][br]We still have to test the performance of the latest update, but one thing is pretty much clear: Firefox is playing the privacy and speed card to compete with Google Chrome.[br][br][br][br]#Infinix_India.... |
