I have seen some improvements with the recent version of Firefox, but it's still giving me headaches when it gets slower and slower on some sites. Having heard about it on bsdnow.tv (episode 209), I'm now switching to www/iridium (from ports): # cd /usr/ports/www/iridium # cat pkg-descr Iridium is a free, open, and libre browser modification of the Chromium code base, with privacy being enhanced in several key areas. Automatic transmission of partial queries, keywords, metrics to central services is inhibited and only occurs with consent. WWW: https://iridiumbrowser.de/ Looks very promising (also on Windows) !
