I love the alt text from the article about the feature:quote:Two hand-drawn diagrams, with the first labeled “Without Site Isolation, we might load both of these sites in the same process ”. Two browser windows with partially visible sites “attacker.com” and “my-bank” partial site, are loaded in the same process - process 16. On top of the banking window, there is a cartoon face that looks happy, personifying the browser. The attacker site window contains a face that is looking at the banking window, with a mischievous smile. In the second diagram, labeled “Attacker.com executes a sophisticated attack”, we see the same two browser windows loaded in process 16 and a 1 column table labelled “memory where my-bank’s data is stored in process 16” underneath the banking window. It has two entries: “credit card info” and “login password”. A hand extending from the malicious site reaches toward the table (aka memory of the second window), signifying that the malicious site is able to access sensitive data belonging to the banking window because it is in the same process. The personified browser character is looking towards the malicious site, and exhibits feelings of concern and worry, with exclamation marks floating around the face. quote:Two hand-drawn diagrams, with the first labeled “With Site Isolation, we will load these sites in different processes”. It shows two browser windows, one https://www.attacker.com , loaded in process 5, and https://www.my-bank.com loaded in process 16. On top of the banking window, there is a cartoon face that looks happy, personifying the browser. In contrast, the webpage area of the https://www.attacker.com window, contains a face that is looking at the banking window, with a mischievous smile. In the second diagram, labeled “Attacker.com tries to execute a sophisticated attack”, we see the same two browser windows. There is a 1 column table labelled “memory where my-bank’s data is stored in process 16” underneath the banking window . It has two entries: “credit card info” and “login password”. A hand extending from the malicious site tries to reach towards the table (aka memory of the banking window), but is unable to reach it, due to the process boundary. The face of the malicious site is frowning and looks unhappy, while the face, representing the browser, continues to look happy and carefree. The second window’s data is safe from the malicious site.

bewilderment posted:My Firefox has just, mid-session, stopped resolving websites when other browsers and web applications had. This is pretty weird. Doesn't seem to be any addons fault, either - disabling them all got the same result. What happens if you set Firefox to use a different DNS over HTTPS provider?

Are Firefox or Windows is running a dark theme? That's how many sites like to implement dark mode.

I've had mine manually set to Consolas for ages; I'm glad Firefox is catching up. What I'm trying to say is to give it a chance, if you haven't yet.

Truga posted:dunno how it is on chrome, but in firefox youtube runs butter smooth on my desktop, but on my 5yo laptop it can get a bit wonky, and playing videos starts the fans so i usually use mpv to play it despite the videos themselves playing fine Is hardware acceleration enabled or disabled for the browsers it's performing poorly in? You can check under about :support -> Graphics section -> Features -> "Compositing" There's also a "Decision Log" near the bottom of the Graphics section which should show why it chose that.

That looks more like they're a/b testing a new design than anything else. Most likely nothing to do with Firefox.

That's a network filter though and would not explain why disabling cosmetic filtering restored it.

Serephina posted:Yea it's probably time to upgrade the OS again, I've been putting it off. Turns out waterfox classic is no longer getting security updates so I'll have to jump ship properly rather than using this hacked up 20.04. If you haven't tried KDE Plasma lately, I highly recommend it. There are a lot of screenshots at https://kde.org/plasma-desktop/ and, of course, just about everything is customizable.

SA uses "Roboto", so if you don't have it locally installed you could see if doing that fixes it.

The default option in Firefox is to block autoplay with sound, meaning videos without sound can autoplay.

Stare-Out posted:Well, that's dumb. But all videos start off muted anyway and some of them autoplay, sound or not. And like I said, there are videos that don't autoplay in one post but do in others even though it's the same file from the same source. On SA, gif-like videos don't have controls or audio; they're just video GIFs. That's stuff like imgur's "gifv" and gfycat's "gfy". Direct-linked mp4s from other sites don't autoplay, but have controls (so you can click play).

I'd recommend having that bail out after a while so it doesn't keep looking for new videos indefinitely.

Webpages should not take 10x as long to load in Firefox. Are you using a lot of extensions? Is your browser up-to-date? Have you tried a fresh browser profile?

Saoshyant posted:Good lord, Youtube is now forcing autoplay regardless of previous setting and even removed the option to disable it entirely. This sure is yet another addition to the awful experience at that hellsite and make it even worse for no good reason. Is the video you're watching by chance part of a playlist? They removed the autoplay toggle for that a long time ago, but regular videos are still fine, at least for me. If not, gotta love a/b testing.
