Yeah, I think open should be the new one.

Maybe you can try to check if you're using legacy drivers or the new version that's party open-source.
I think Nvidia switched to those for their most recent cards not long ago.

I don't think you read the article, or you just like being tracked.

I think there’s kind of a 3rd choice, WebKit.

That's where Chromium came from originally, so not really 3rd.

And what else should be recommended?

The choice is basically between Firefox or skinned Chromium.

Do you really want to experience first-hand just why Internet Explorer was this hated?
Here's a hint: de facto monopoly on browser market that allowed them to control the web standards back then and their ideas were not good.

it has become a sinking ship and I’m eager to see who picks up the shards and runs with it.

I don't think you have any idea how much work it takes to create a new browser.

It's made by folks that once worked on the original Opera (back when it was still good).

Basing their new browser on Chromium is unfortunate, but the spirit of old Opera is there: customizability and focus on features for power users.

It's the browser I'd be using if I abandoned Firefox for whatever reason.

People paid good money for this software, they shouldn't have to get used to this.

Just... do it? It's just a normal Linux underneath.

Much better than not reporting and wondering why the issues never get fixed.

I don't know, sounds like their problem.

Picking up smoking is a conscious decision.

It's not even about the lower specs, it's the optimization in general.

My PC is a little old, but still fine for most games up to medium settings.
But when I tried FF XVI, which is mentioned in the article, I couldn't get anything close to acceptable performance with everything turned as low as possible and looking like shit.
