WaterFox Browser: Might also be good for Firefox > = 1.4
About :config: do this …
dom.webgpu.enabled = true
gfx.webgpu.ignore-blocklist = true
I gained me from 6.15 to 6.45 on a benchmark score … I usually celebrate at anything over .1
Unclear to me: what is the question?
Belongs into open chat then…
Sorry for giving … my mistake … I won’t do that again
Pretty sure someone may have asked “how the hell did you do that?” or “What the hell is Waterfox?” … Thanks for setting me straight
This is an “application” right?
Maybe read your first post again. It lacks context to get ppl interested in what you have done. With some actual information and context it could be interesting and helpfull.
Why not naming the benchmark?
What is the actual benefit of this increase in the daily use of the browser?
Why not linking some background information of the switches?
Maybe also tell that such switches are available for nearly all browsers.
Explain the possible backdrafts of enabling.
Explain why the switches are by default off on some machines.
Mozilla 1.4 was released 2003. So what do you want to say with this sentence? How is a 22 year old browser related to your actual description?
With two more describing sentences, the post would be interesting. In the actual shape it is only useful for open chat but not for a technical discussion (which you seem to have intended).
Ohhh sorry … my bad 1.4 == 140 … I get numbers mixed up in my old age
Maybe you will sleep better when i tell you that it wasn’t me who reported the comment.
To come back to your question from the hidden comment, if anybody is able to beat your 6,45 score with Firefox. Answer: yes, everybody with better hardware. The benchmark is heavily hardware dependend. The intention of the benchmark is not to compare different hardware and machines but browsers and engines (performance of web applications) on a single machine.
The benchmark results needs some knowledge how to interpret. The comparism is useless if you try to compare two machines with different hardware. Same set of software/OS but different hardware will yield different results. The machine with better hardware will always have better results. Easy to test when you own two or more physical machines.
The only usefull (and intended) approach is to use this benchmark on one machine. Then install all available browsers and engines and perform the test between them. This is what sites like Browserating have done.
This is also described on the benchmark site, that it is used to compare results between browsers/engines and not machines.
To summarize your results on your specific machine: substandard hardware (good machines reach 38,53 in the benchmark) and Firefox lacks behind other browsers in performance.
