Australis is the concept of Interface that Mozilla wants to provide your browser users. Hated by many, loved by others, the reality is that new airs were needed and change is on the way.
Many think that Australis is nothing more than a copy of Chrome / Chromium, and at first glance it is true that many similar details are appreciated in its appearance.
It is because of that Mozilla decided to go one step further, and changed the way the Unified Menu is used in the browser.
How? Through Widgets, which will allow us to add extra functions and turn our browser into a tool with multiple uses and purposes.
I was thinking of doing a Screencast for 10enDesdeLinux, but I think it is better if you directly see the video created by one of the developers of Firefox.
That disgusts, seriously, Chrome seems like rubbish from that point and for that reason I prefer Firefox a thousand times, I hope there is the option to use the previous interface, because I like to press ctrl + k and choose which search engine to use by pressing f4 It's that simple and don't use that crap for everything, I mean Google.
Unfortunately I cannot see the video, the speed here is worse than a tear, and that is the bad thing about living in a country governed by the red mediocrity that wants to control everything, in short, when I can I see it.
Truth be told, Chrome has gotten really disgusting. I'm using the nightly version of Chromium for Windows and the truth is that the tab to use search sites like DuckDuckGo and / or Youtube, they just went to hell.
On the other hand, I hope Australis will be optimized for Windows PCs with single core processors and with less powerful video cards (the version for GNU / Linux is great).
The problem is not only limited to those you mentioned, there is also a persistent problem with the built-in Flash plugin. Both in Windows and in Chakra or Arch Linux I had the same problem that the videos only loaded up to a certain point. With Firefox the story was different
That's true. Starting with Chromium / Chrome version 31, the problem is Blink rendering relative to Flash Player. With Pepper Flash, even though it was heavier, it didn't have that drawback.
And that's the reason why I stop on Iceweasel more than Chromium / Chrome.
Well, the videos uploaded only to a certain extent has happened to me in Firefox too, yes, only on YouTube.
In the end, the blame for everything that happens is always the "reds." Be grateful that you do not lack at least the basics, because in "paradises of freedom and the free market" like the one I live in, there are people who have no roof or nothing to put their mouths on. Ah! and we also pay for the lowest quality and most expensive internet connection in all of Europe.
If you cannot see the video, why do you say that you will not continue with the ability to change the search engine to use? You're just talking, the bar and the way to configure it remains the same, you can use different search engines without problem.
But some options such as the use of the tab when searching within pages like YouTube have disappeared.
Sure, but how many people used them or knew they existed? There you have the problem bro.
I am against eliminating things that, although they are little known, are really important, such as the example that they wanted to eliminate window tilling in KDE (I don't know where it will be).
But there are other things that are irrelevant, funny candies but that do not present a real functionality, nothing without which you cannot live.
I think that Chrome should be aware of the options it removes and / or adds, since this way it will realize which functions are the most used.
Hopefully the Aura shell of is implemented in Blink will be improved so that it can be implemented in Opera Blink and thus give the Opera guys time to fully implement Opera Link.
These from mozilla !!, They always surprise me, the only thing missing is that desktop firefox runs in different processes, most browsers do, or I don't know any sync with firefoxOS but there is still a long way to go, I'm currently using firefox 26 beta, and I have not had any bugs
For now, Chrome does that and unfortunately the program gets heavier as you open more tabs, performance slows down.
Fortunately, in both Firefox and Iceweasel I have not had that problem when I have saturated it with a plethora of tabs.
Chrome (Chromium) has frozen my system many times ...
Every now and then I get to use Chromium on Linux to post something to my blogs on Blogger. In the case of Windows, it tends to perform really unbearable.
Please… let's not talk to the fart, multi-process or multi-threaded programming is the future, what happens if one of the tabs hangs in firefox? ALL firefox crashes, which doesn't happen in chrome, why? because each tab is an independent process that does not affect the rest of the browser, chrome from its bases is heavy in multiple processes (which also implies more performance ... due to the degree of multiprogramming) and now firefox thinks to do the same and it seems perfect, there you will see the full potential of firefox http://billmccloskey.wordpress.com/2013/12/05/multiprocess-firefox/
… And one of the reasons is because Chrome is the base of Chrome OS 😉
Hope Gecko is multithreaded so it doesn't waste battery for fun on Firefox OS.
Excellent.
If Firefox really were a cheap copy of Chrome, it would have already ditched its native rendering engine and replaced it with Blink (see Opera Browser). At least, Firefox keeps Gecko and has polished it to the maximum.
Hmm, the funny thing about it is that to stand out from the competition, Firefox is trying desperately to look like the old Opera ... and Opera has jumped on the webkit bus to participate in that same competition, leaving behind what really made it excellent.
I still have to use all of them to test the pages, but for navigation in general .. since I have had to leave Opera because of its unexpected and frequent crashes (not to mention the ridiculous imitation of chrome in which it will become), the best thing will be pass Maxthon (on Linux, obviously) =)
Unlike Firefox, Opera is proprietary, and the truth is that I have not had major problems with the Windows version and with the Debian fork.
And by the way, Opera doesn't use Webkit, but Blink, which in Chrome version 31 is full of unresolved bugs.
Blink. that's. worst penalties = /
Luckily Maxthon will be on linux soon and everything will be just a bad memory .. hehe
Maxthon is also based on Chrome, so you may also suffer from Blink problems (unless you get to work with the bugs out there, of course).
"Unlike Opera, Firefox is proprietary"
WHAT THE FUCK?
it is obviously a mistake. ¬¬
Right.
Slip of the pen.
How does Firefox want to be like Opera? 😕
to the old opera? in almost everything about personalization, the famous multiple search bar, the "dial up" screen and other things that had to work first of all. In fact, the reason why I always preferred opera is that it worked out-of-the-box like firefox with a zillion extensions, and it had a built-in mail client. all homeland history today. I even prefer the dragonfly to the firebug .. but there no way, it is still necessary to use them all pal debug.
With Iceweasel, zero hassle (and one extension).
incidentally, the same applies to Maxthon (on windows and in its time, I don't really know now)
The truth is that Maxthon is based on Chrome, and from what I understand, it is using Blink as the rendering engine.
I just want Firefox to be more stable and faster ...
The same I say.
Is it me or the triangle that is displayed in the menu is taken from the cinnamon interface
Stop crying like babes and prepare to be assimilated:

Mozilla may decide to use Google's V8 Javascript engine, but will not use Blink.
Using V8 would be extremely interesting.
First because it is open, that helps to conform to a standard, and doing it in a critical part like the JS rendering engine is definitely the best.
And the second comes hand in hand with the first, having the same engine in the most used browsers (one of JS, of course) programming and the adoption of standards is much easier, the JS that works in one, will work exactly the same in the other.
In fact, Blink is less stable than Gecko, since it does not show the flash player and / or Java plugins in their nighlty versions. With V8, it would be quite interesting, since this would avoid more complaints about the failure of the javascript engine that Firefox currently has when it comes to infinite scrolling.
Very good! More and more, the interface resembles that of Chrome and the way to access internal apps is how Google implemented it with its webapps for some time.
Now they would only need to renew the old Gecko engine so that little by little FF becomes a viable option for these times.
Gecko works fine on GNU / Linux, but on Windows, it tends to be somewhat clunky. I hope the Australis interface runs smoother on less powerful PCs.
I love this new interface, many know that I use chrome and to tell the truth the interface does look like it, but as I have always thought, the good is copied and improved,
