hopefully this leads to browsers just refusing to execute javascript that takes a significant amount of cpu time

Your brokebrain sin is absolved...go and shitpost no more!

i installed the 57 beta of "Firefox browser for Android" seriously that's what it's called, and it's way nicer than the release version. i put up with the janky UI and slow app performance of android firefox because even with those downsides, the ability to install ublock makes it a much better browsing experience than chrome. the beta adds (what feels like) a much speedier UI, which is pretty much the only downside to it

There was this Norwegian website that would detect adblockers and show a nag screen. If you blocked the nag screen, it would detect that too, and start some infinite javascript loop to make the browser unusable.

firefox having a minimum tab size makes it the only browser that don't suck in my book
like that's some ux 101 poo poo

meanwhile opera has a minimum tab size of one pixel, as is correct, and does not add a close tab button if they are too small

i can mouse over them and it flashes a tab preview and i can remember what i was doing around the time i was reading a particular thing, and what else i wanted to read and opened in a new tab from that, and navigate it like a map of my recent browsing habits

nobody without severe ADHD has an excuse for it being like this

edit: if there were some sort of treetab system where whenever I middleclick on a link, it would open it in a sort of subtab that doesn't show up unless i open a tab's tree, that would be way better

I usually save my tabs and start fresh when either

a: the browser starts slowing down, which takes a while because opera is really good
or
b: the tab bar turns solid grey or my tabs start being hidden because it's run out of screen resolution. I can't do that navigation trick well when I can't see fragments of favicons.
