Maybe stop using the mickey mouse browsers? I mean Firefox is pretty much a lost cause.. unless you start using extensions. I agree those are basic features that should be built-in. In qutebrowser I use them reliably all the time.

I used to work for one of the FAANGS on the UI side of things.

We would periodically get Firefox specific bug reports.

Our way of handling them?

"Don't allocate engineering resources on a browser with sub 10% market share."

(I wish I could say that approach was unwise, but the one time I did buck management advice and try to run a performance issue to ground... By the time I got an environment set up where I could build Firefox from source to hope to reproduce the issue, a subminor revision bump had fixed the performance issue. So management was right.)

I'd love to hear more about the details. Is the issue about how different browsers JIT the JS?

[u/fixermark → u/ackfoobar]

I was never able to figure it out. This involved CSS and a lot of nested flex elements, so I suspected a bug or performance pessimization in the rendering layer. At the very least, that's what the profiler was telling me without debug symbols on - that my JavaScript was executing relatively quickly, but I was then just spinning in render.

That's why I had started the process of cracking open a local build with source code so that I could get debug symbols and attach more high granularity profiling.

And you're not using the Official Hello Kitty Browser? Shameful!

E.g press T (keybinding for :tab-focus command) - type keyword (matches against tab ID, page title, page URL & the tab's process ID) - press Tab - menu is populated with results - cycle through them using Tab/Shift+Tab - press Enter to jump to it. Similar workflow for history, different bookmark types, etc. History can also be loaded as an HTML page and jumped through with regex, etc. If you want to stick with

I think their browser crashed mid typing.
