Guys, did anyone found out a way to run Hangouts on new Firefox Quantum?

Just use normal firefox, don’t depend on beta software

Firefox quantum is not on beta

Guys, did anyone found out a way to run Hangouts on new Firefox Quantum?

I just dropped off hangouts

Not really necessary

Firefox quantum is not on beta

There's always a beta version and there are always nightly builds, but Firefox 57 is stable now.

how is vivaldi

first time i used it, it was very slow

and by slow i dont meen the engine, i mean the browser was resource heavy

well

it's a little resource heavy

but to me the only problem is the slow opening time

is it open source or closed like opera

well it should be closed but based on lot of open source things (it should as i don't know well)

but it's not completely closed as opera

anyway to me it's miles ahead other browsers (apart from the starting time)

at the end is using as much ram as others (some people even says that chrome uses more memory)

but it offers tons of customizations that others are completely lacking

is it open source or closed like opera

Closed Source.

but it's not completely closed as opera

Anything closed, especially if its everything but the base engine, is closed source.

and by slow i dont meen the engine, i mean the browser was resource heavy

I only notice that is a bit heavy on resources when I open it alongside Firefox. Otherwise, it works fine for me.

You can use chromium for Hangouts.

ok...still (to me) remain the fact that it's the perfect home for people who left opera when opera 15 came out

its always been too heavy for me, compared to opera and chromium

:)

i like Operas current iteration

i used to use Opera 12

well it should be closed but based on lot of open source things (it should as i don't know well)

How can you make closed source software from open source? The license states that you have to keep it open. Or am I missing something?

blink is 3 clause BSD

not GPL iirc

Oh. Okay. Well, maybe it depends on the hardware available.

if its GPL, its LGPL not regular GPL

blink is 3 clause BSD

What? I didn't get it.

What? I didn't get it.

different licenses have different stipulations

Ah, okay.

MIT and BSD allow you to use Open Source stuff in propreitary closed source software

i like Operas current iteration

weeeeell, it's fast and in some way i like it too, but it's missing really basic things, for example it's the only browser who do not have a basic list for bookmarks, and even if it offers some advanced features you can't customize those

Ah, okay.

and LGPL allows you to use the open source components, as long as you keep that part open source even if the rest of your code is closed

Right. Got it.

for example you have the useful panel on the left, but it stays on the left, in vivaldi you can choose where to put it

and anyway they are very close to the community and that is a nice thing

ive never found that panel too usefull

the thing i loved about old opera were tab stacking and speed dial

oh and the inbuilt torrent downloader

and properly pausing downloads

well tab stacking and speed dial are there

new opera has speed dial

and tab stacking is working very well

and save tabs to speed dial folder

and you can just restore them

edge has a feature like this iirc

saved tabs or someshit

i use these features so much

new opera has speed dial

yes but i hate suggestions in the speed dial because they are confusing and opera is full of them

yes but i hate suggestions in the speed dial because they are confusing and opera is full of them

you can disable them

from the speed dial cog

the only thing i really miss is tab stacking

and that for webpage compression, adblock and a vpn when i need it

i dont use opera anymore, but id choose new Opera over Vivaldi if its still slow

yes but i hate suggestions in the speed dial because they are confusing and opera is full of them

Yeah, I dislike it too. I'm so unlikely to use them.

you can even disable the ugly search bar in opera speed dial

you can disable that search bar too in vivaldi...but in reality i'm used to see it

i dont use opera anymore, but id choose new Opera over Vivaldi if its still slow

Why not Firefox? Quantum is way better. I'm using it on a small netbook and gives no problems at all.

because tobias is right, the new engine sucks, the old engine sucked

oh and the inbuilt torrent downloader

Needless, downright dangerous garbage on top - that cant be properly audited too.

You are essentially trusting a closed source torrent downloader with it.

the only real competitor to current blink is Edge, though it doesnt seem to do too well in benchmarks either

it does seem to perform very well in real life

Please dont put shame in browsers by referring to edge or ie as a Browser.

Well, I completely disagree. Firefox Quantum is great. But to each his own.

quantum is objectively slow on my computer

both in terms of resource utilisation and loading pages compared to chromium

im on f27 too right now

i have tried quantum and to me it seems as fast as vivaldi, but then i hate that firefox interface

i hate the chromium interface

and anyway, waterfox was faster even without quantum

i only really use it because its relatively lightweight

i hate the chromium interface

i hate it too :P

i just want an open source Opera goddamit

and anyway, waterfox was faster even without quantum

whats special about waterfox

and anyway, waterfox was faster even without quantum

But waterfox is a security risk and a horror to people like me that develop.

Chromium. :P

Its a problem.

How do you mean

elaborate

+1

the only conclusion is there are no good browsers

Maybe is a matter of extensions? I'm using Firefox Quantum in a 1GB RAM netbook and in a 4GB RAM laptop (Debian Testing and Fedora 27), and in both works smootly. I can use it alongside other programmes and it doesn't slow down the machine.

elaborate

Super super slow to port security updates back, refusal to adapt new enhancements in both speed and security and to this very day can't resolve a promise - breaking every modern framework.

Chromium. :P

no i rally can't stand that interface... :P probably i would go internet explorer or opera 12 before chromium :P

vivaldi - resource heavy chrome / opera / vivaldi / edge - closed source firefox - ugly, slow firefox quantum - slower waterfox - insecure

no i rally can't stand that interface... :P probably i would go internet explorer or opera 12 before chromium :P

I love it. Simple, fast, does what it should.
