Firefox Quantum Promises to Speed Up Web Browsing

November 15, 2017

 

Faizel Patel, Radio Islam News – 15-11-2017

Search engine Firefox has released its newest browser, Firefox Quantum (Firefox 57) which it promises will be twice as fast as the version from 6 months ago.

Firefox Quantum features a multi-core CSS engine, tab prioritization and the elimination of bugs that were weighing the software down.

There’s a new interface that’s both more streamlined and should look sharp on very high-resolution displays.

Firefox Quantum should better at scaling in the future, to boot. When you open a new tab, you’ll see Pocket’s story recommendations alongside shortcuts to your most visited sites.

The new version is available now for Linux, Mac and Windows users.

Web browser usage share has remained relatively stable for a while, particularly for Firefox (about 13.1 percent as of October, according to NetMarketshare) and for Chrome (59.8 percent).

Quantum is one of the biggest improvements to Firefox in recent times, though. And if nothing else, the speed boost and UI tweaks could help Mozilla keep users that would have moved on to other browsers.
