ForkServer is the Firefox's new Linux feature that eliminates annoying forced restarts after updates. Better performance and low memory use.

    The no restart is kind of awesome. WebGPU progress is also great, even if not on Linux yet.

        The problem is that if Firefox does not support features like WebGPU, people will switch to Chrome once they notice web sites don’t work correctly.

          I guess not using it when everyone else is would be another way of fingerprinting too

          Or, complain to the website not to use browser specific features (just like the old Internet Explorer days)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
