> I don't remember having a browser crash on me since the demise of Flash.
Just try browsing reddit with the RES extension or streaming heavy data for a few seconds (like a server side PDF processor that takes more than 30 seconds to finish, it's the same old behavior of blocking JS dialogs from years ago, white screen of death). When I'm using a iGPU (512MB) and I open some heavy images in sequence the browser crashes after a certain amount of time but this time it freezes the entire computer for a few seconds, so I suspect it's OOM (iGPU). I never bothered looking for a solution, nowadays I don't even care when my browser ocasionally crashes. My overall desktop (software) experience gets worse every year so I have gone used to it.
But Firefox still is my favorite browser and I wouldn't trade it for anything else!
Yeah that's the difference - I only use few well known extensions like uBlock Origin, Self Destructing Cookies, Lastpass and Decentraleyes. No trouble with any PDFs either. Anyway this is getting off track with the crashes or not - my point was even if it crashes it is no big deal if you can't restore - just reopen will work in most cases.
