Honestly, I've just about had enough (lemmy.zip)

I'm doing my best to continue using Firefox, but it's becoming incredibly annoying, and I'm seriously at my wit's end and just about to give up on it permanently.

I've noticed during video calls it causes my computer to completely freeze up and require a reboot sometimes.

And on my phone, sometimes when I'm reading, it will just make my screen completely stop responding to me and I have to force reboot my phone in order to fix it.

I know that Gecko is the only other web engine option to fight Chromium's Blink, but I'm seriously just about fed up enough with Firefox to say fuck it.

Servo or ladybird may be the only real hope left.

As I said, I have a low memory device so I'm talking from experience.

In fact Google itself says that devices with less than 6GB of RAM should be running Android Go rather than Android 16.

Honestly, devices designed to be obsolete are a pain for everyone. We need devices that are designed to be usable in a few years, that means shipping them with decent processors, memory and storage. By Android 17, the minimum memory requirement is likely to be 8GB and there's going to be a bunch of people wondering why some apps, the more complex ones like browsers, don't run smoother.

Maybe a solution is that Firefox starts serving older devices an ESR.
