Firefox Quantum was finally released by Mozilla

by Harikrishna Mekala

It’s by far the significant update they had since Mozilla launched Firefox 1.0 in 2004, it’s just flat out great in every way. If you go and install it right now, you’ll instantly notice the difference, accompanied by a reaction of mild euphoria. If you’re interested in what Mozilla did, read on.

The initial thing you’ll notice is the speed. Go on, open some tabs and have amazing fun. The next thing you’ll notice is the new User Interface (UI).Mozilla calls this action Photon, and its goal is to improve and unify anything that Mozilla calls Firefox while taking the power of the speedy new engine. You figured it: the Photon UI itself is incredibly fast and smooth. To create Photon, our user research team examined how people browsed the web. Mozilla looked at the real-world hardware to make Firefox look great on any layout, and Mozilla made sure that Firefox looks and works like Firefox despite the device you’re using. Our architects created a system that mounts to more than just current hardware but lets us expand in the future. Plus, our Pocket combination goes one step further, which includes Pocket recommendations alongside your most visited pages.

As part of our center on user experience and performance in Firefox Quantum, Google will also grow our new default search provider in the United States and Canada. With more than 60 search providers pre-installed across more than 90 languages, Firefox has more variety of search providers than any other browser.

Mozilla made many, many execution improvements in the browser’s core and shipped a new CSS engine, Stylo, that takes the better power of today’s hardware with multiple cores that are optimized for low power consumption. they also developed Firefox so that the tab you’re on gets prioritized over all others, making better use of your important system resources. They did all this work on top of the multi-process support that launched this past June. And they are not done yet. David Bryant who first told you about Project Quantum explains what’s to grow and what they are doing to continue to improve your browser’s performance.
