Works pretty good for blogs and in general if you use serverless tech.

However i wouldn't consider it for mission critical stuff - github's infrastructure can't be compared to actual paid-for cloud hosting.

right, KHTML is still a valid option under linux to build apps. But that's getting so much less (no?) attention from web developers

I bet the ipad prototype from early 2000s actually ran some version of osx&safari

They used to support it, but it was killed to prioritize firefox development (and couple of years later they stopped developing mozilla suite).

otoh Webkit was originally developed as part of iOS, so embedding was required

Yay, finally proper remote debugging support - had heck of a time figuring it out with previous version (http://artem.savelev.com/2017/08/comfortable-vscode-rpi-debu... )

Hopefully this one just works as v4 actually has an idea of standard protocol that doesn't break.

I use it daily for years and was shocked to find that it supports pinch zoom on iOS - but not android (where i use it).

Feels like it that's just tip of the iceberg re. things they could improve - for example they finally, finally!, added ability to create categories/tags for free (was paid feature).

I understand it's tough to run a business like this (and why google killed this, at least officially) - but i wouldn't actually mind an occasional ad.

This report shows phones. There are many ipad's, and i'd bet that purchasing (or clicking ad links) on ipad is much easier than on iphone.

Primary reason I switched back from chrome to firefox couple of years ago is for memory usage actually - got really tired of browser eating all my ram (with every extension and tab adding more and more usage). And no, i rarely actually have enough free ram - it goes to better use.

I hope firefox handles this better than chrome - any fundamental differences between sandboxing of every thread in chrome and what electrolysis is doing?

I have tried and failed to buy X1 Carbon last month - i needed it to ship in less than a month, and their online ordering has no expedited shipping (not even an option, wtf?) and doesn't tell you when they will deliver it by (wtf??) and they don't sell X1 in any store in the area (wtf???)

I truly fail to understand this - the best laptop is not sold in stores, and takes over two weeks online. The other Lenovos are, but not that one.

I hope MS is better with this, but I don't have experience yet.

Have you actually looked at some of these benchmarks? For example, Octane contains "Code loading", sunspider has "code decompression" (not true code loading, but at least it does de-minification).

Of course it's important, and all borwsers are developed with this in mind - but it's not possible to create reproducable test suite (with a score given) that will test actual sites - sites change

I really suggest you look here: https://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/Going+Deep/Lars-Bak-and-Stev...

They do talk about the chicken and egg situation, where top sites will optimize for engines, then engines optimize for sites... i.e. it highly depends on the sites - of course all browsers test on top sites and optimize for them. But then the cycle repeats.
