Outside of performance, rendering and battery life, I absolutely love what Mozilla has done to the Firefox interface.

#FIREFOX USING A LOT OF MEMORY PRO#

With the M1 MacBook Pro and Firefox 89, battery life is just as good as it is when using Safari. When using Firefox, I was lucky to get two to three hours of battery life. Prior to my M1 MacBook Pro, Firefox drained the very will to live from my MacBook Pro 2016 battery. And, much to my surprise, Firefox is no longer a battery vampire on macOS. Since my switch to Firefox on Linux and macOS, I've not had a single problem with memory issues. The fact that the Blink web browser rendering engine has the biggest issue with Google Drive should come as a shock, seeing as how both were created and are maintained by Google. And for me, that's a big issue because I work in Google Drive about seven to nine hours a day. Of all the web browsers I've used, those based on the WebKit and Blink rendering engines seem to have the biggest problems with longer documents on Google Drive.

Blink: Google Chrome and Chromium-based browsers such as Microsoft Edge browser, Opera browser, Brave browser and Vivaldi browser.Take, for instance, the fact that there are five active web browser rendering engines: It's when you dig a bit deeper that you find those web browsers do start to differ. The biggest difference is how each web browser implements these features.

Many of us have tuned our workflow to a specific web browser's way of doing things. So what's the problem? Why would anyone have an issue either selecting the web browser that is truly best for their use case or migrating to a different browser altogether? Every web browser I've ever used renders sites well, though some better than others. For the most part, they all do it fairly well. That means those ubiquitous applications have to pull a tremendous load. I would go so far as to say 90% of the work and entertainment you undertake on any computing device connected to the Internet is via a web browser.

No matter your platform, you depend on a web browser. Why? First and foremost, the browser is one tool everyone uses. Why choosing the best browser for your workflow is so difficult

On the Mac operating system, Chrome drains the battery faster than any other application with the exception of Final Cut Pro when rendering video. On Linux, I've had Chrome lock up the desktop on too many occasions. Why? Because the Chrome browser has become unreliable on so many levels. You see, there are still sites I must use that, for whatever reason, were designed with Google Chrome in mind. That's not to say I found myself using only one web browser-oh, no.
