If I de-activate the EasyList subscription the beachball time drops to 13 seconds.<br /><br />I haven't tried my custom filters, as set up on my normal login user running TFF 24 at the moment. Those custom filters are the reason I haven't switched to something lighter like Bluhell - its fixed filter list is missing too many ads and I need the custom filters to block stupid huge background images that some people seem to think are great to put on their blogs!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015214236289077798.post-40910947101502821292014-07-07T05:29:04.408-07:002014-07-07T05:29:04.408-07:00Localization progress for 31:

I was confused at first because it says it's a firewall, but technically it's not, it's just an ad blocker. It is very lightweight and seems to be well-maintained. The ad block rules are based on EasyList and therefore should work well for anglophone web surfing, but it does miss some ads that are covered by localized filter lists. Personally I need some power user features in AdBlock Plus (Edge) like custom filters, Google infiltration control and blocking of the omnipresent social media buttons. But there's a good chance Bluhell will replace AdBlock on my G3s, which use a reduced set of extensions anyway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015214236289077798.post-31248853625123713282014-07-06T23:15:41.310-07:002014-07-06T23:15:41.310-07:00I can't tell a difference on the G4 PowerBook ...I can't tell a difference on the G4 PowerBook (uniprocessor, obviously) between OMTC enabled or disabled. I did direct comparisons, then I used the browser for one day with, the next day without, and there's just no perceivable difference. Web.m may be a little better with OMTC disabled, but not consistently or in any way verifiable with numbers. I don't even know if there's a technical connection. To put it positively, my PowerBook G4 is quite happy with both settings. The same goes for javascript.options.mem.gc_incremental_slice_ms = 100. <br /><br />I don't use the G3s with enough heavy lifting over prolonged time periods (let alone web.m) to make a statement. Direct comparison, again, showed no perceivable difference.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015214236289077798.post-53469662807513700382014-07-06T00:30:34.158-07:002014-07-06T00:30:34.158-07:00It depends on your Mac.

Adblock is definitely doing *something* on startup. I can only speculate, but if e.g. the SunSpider String benchmark (which improved dramatically in b3 compared to b2) does what its name suggests then the Adblock slowness in b2 sort of makes sense.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015214236289077798.post-56942024893907473502014-07-05T11:27:21.145-07:002014-07-05T11:27:21.145-07:00Am I the only one using AdBlockEdge (or any kind o...Am I the only one using AdBlockEdge (or any kind of AdBlock) that is NOT experiencing beach balls?

(This may depend on how many filter subscriptions and custom filters you have. I only use EasyList plus a rather short social block list and a handfull of custom filters.) After that, everything is okay in b3, even Facebook is easily usable, vs about 50% beachball time during the whole browsing experience with b2.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015214236289077798.post-21605524885421542272014-07-05T08:11:38.693-07:002014-07-05T08:11:38.693-07:00Things are looking up again on the G3 iMac:

I know you know better than most folks on this blog how useless vague reports are, and on the quad it's hard for me to judge sometimes because it can compensate by just brute forcing its way through.<br /><br />The 29 WebM difference is interesting, because this means it may have been crossing that "internal maximum" already and it's just involving more of the browser now.<br /><br />I did discover a showstopper early this morning (issue 280) but hopefully I can get it fixed in time. It seems to be a compiler problem also, but only in the G5 build.ClassicHasClasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17331846076856918359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015214236289077798.post-77262683126456437712014-07-05T00:11:48.364-07:002014-07-05T00:11:48.364-07:00The JS performance regressions are definitely fixe...The JS performance regressions are definitely fixed. Page load times and dynamic content loading are now comparable to 29 or even better. Sunspider supports this.

I felt that I needed to speak up because the performance had decreased so dramatically on low end machines that it was really bordering unusable. Now it's ready for prime time, and it's now a usable browser also on the G3 400 MHz Pismo.<br /><br />And a pleasant surprise: I have no idea what happened to web.m playback but it's greatly improved in b3. YouTube videos suddenly play pretty much as smoothly as they did in 24. I checked back and forth between b2 and b3 to see whether it's he recent YouTube change that did it, but it's not. The change is in 31b3.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015214236289077798.post-82781965358646813822014-07-04T19:18:48.451-07:002014-07-04T19:18:48.451-07:00Excellent.

I salute the guy's ingenuity, but the amount of water involved would make a leak catastrophic not only for the machine itself but also anything near it, and that radiator is freaking huge. Plus, distilled water would need to get changed on a fairly regular basis, I should think. It's just a bit too much for me, but it *is* cool looking.ClassicHasClasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17331846076856918359noreply@blogger.com
