I am a loyal FF user, and don't hesitate to upgrade it whenever a new version is released.
I too have installed uBlock Origin, and it does a very good job of keeping the shit away from my machine. I should also mention that I am a Mac user, so less subject to viruses and malaware, but one can never be to complacent about those threats. On the whole, with this set up, I don't see myself abandoning FF as my main browser and can honestly say that all is A-OK with this browser.

what are they DOING in the first place?
i agree with mysteryman that they're the cause of most of the problems. IE to its credit only sticks 2 entries in there. FF bloats to 10 or 15. chrome, to my surprise, is that much WORSE -- i'm counting 27 right now. if this is so easy to change in config, why isn't it locked down at "1" by default? what is the tradeoff here? |

if they are "split", then shouldn't EACH ONE be fairly small?
my top entry in the task manager is like 280k for chrome -- which itself is the highest thing in there -- but then there's 26 more of them, ranging from 8k to 190k. total somewhere around 2.8G...not exactly great on a PC with...um...3G of RAM.... |

Seriously I'd love to know... I have 35 running!! It's slow as molasses. I don't even use Chrome except when I need to go to Amazon France and they don't have an ENGLISH setting. Japan and Germany do. Although getting blu rays out of Germany right now during Covid is a pain in the ass!! and if I do it's expensive. PS: if I see 8000k well it could be kelvin if it's in the lights area. but generally if I say 8k for instance it's 8000 I use this for Covid-19 numbers. 180k is easier to type out than 180,000 |

so if i do reset that, will the 26 entries BELOW the 280k one just disappear, or will all 2.7G or so of them merge into ONE giant, equally unmanageable, task?
