With LXTask and GNOME System Monitor opened along side with a browser, that
was already slow. I haven't tried the app you suggested so I was JUST
wondering, that is all :)

 Isn't that the same ?
 I am running Chromium here on a 800 Mhz ARM Cortex A8 with 256 MB RAM.
 I guess that is a low machine.
 If you get to even lower hardware than both browsers feel slugish.

 If you only choose software on the base of how much ram they use on
 ancient hardware then you will definitely fail in delivering a good user
 experience. Personal opinions matter a lot if they are supported by good
 arguments.
 And no I don't want to start a war here. I just want to discuss the
 advantages and disadvantages of both browsers.

At least from the user perspective you have still the advantage that one
tab cannot crash the whole browser.

Hi everyone,

Being little sick and having problems with sleeping, I wasn't able to do
much regarding the test. Above all, I'm having different readings using
some of the tools which have been mentioned here. I'm not sure what to do?
each tool is having different readings than the other. I'm mainly using
LXTask and GNOME System Monitor. Each one is showing different process for
example LXTask is showing 3 process for Chromium while GNOME System Monitor
is showing 5. Firefox as always will be shown as one process or two
sometimes (plugin-container).

I think there must be a better efficient tool to do this benchmark. I don't
think it should be done manually.

I'll keep looking ...

Thanks!

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] [12.04] Firefox instead of Chromium?

[James King]

What are the chances of having an installer that gives you the choice
to install either one? Maybe even add Midori to the mix? It doesn't
matter to me either way: both are fast enough on my netbook and each
continues to improve.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] [12.04] Firefox instead of Chromium?

[amjjawad HOOHAA]

Guys,

With all due respect to EVERYONE, I'm not sure if this
debate/discussion/argument is even healthy or not any more?
I know we, as Lubuntu Team Members, must discuss between us first of all
but we must not forget about one simple fact ... USERS have the louder
voice IMHO. I do believe that such choice must first be made by users. I
mean, they should agree about that.

EVERYONE, and I mean everyone on Ubuntu Forum is asking us to keep Lubuntu
as it's and to improve it to be even better BUT NOT TO follow Ubuntu's
Steps.
Everyone is aware that Mint is Rank 1 now on Distrowatch. Who knows what
could happen? Do you guys know how many users has moved from Ubuntu to
Lubuntu? I almost see 5-10 every day. I'm ready to do a survey and see how
many actually moved to Lubuntu and will start that today, at least for my
own information.

I downloaded Fedora 16 LXDE today because I'm having Multi-Boot machine
with many LXDE Distributions to compare between them. It has Firefox by
default, not Chromium. This is FYI not FYA.

I suggest instead of spending some time discussing about that, why not do
some tests and send the report via mailing list?

As many already mentioned, it's "apt-get install" and mission accomplished.
IMHO, there are a lot to talk about rather than Firefox VS Chromium talk.

I'm out of this discussion and going to do two things and get back to you:

1- I'll do my test and send it via mailing list.
2- I'll write my suggestions regarding 12.04 on my thread and send it to
everyone.


I don't mean to be rude here at all, just stating my humble opinion and I
could be wrong but that's my point after all. Disagree but don't disrespect
is my motto :)

Cya

Firefox might do that in the future also, but it costs memory to
sandbox each browser tab. And I believe Chromium cheats: when
available memory gets too low, tabs begin sharing the same
process so
it's a bit harder to know what's really going on.

That's a bit subjective as Firefox also offers unique
features: It's
possible to run a few hundred tabs in Firefox; the design of
Chromium's tabbar makes that much more painful in Chromium.
Firefox
has a much more powerful addon framework (although Chromium may
improve this next year). The user has more control over his
data with
Firefox Sync than with Google's version.

While I'm not a Google-hater, I think it's very important for
the free
web that Mozilla continues to exist. Since Mozilla is a bit
more open
than Chromium and multiple steps more open than Android, I
think open
source fans should consider supporting Firefox if the features are
nearly equal, which in my opinion they are. This is why I hope
Firefox
continues to remain the Ubuntu default browser. Since Lubuntu has
different constraints in choosing default apps, I'll let
Julien and
the Lubuntu devs make their own evaluation. Both browsers are
fully
supported in Ubuntu (Canonical is looking to hire someone who
can help
maintain Chromium).

Ok, on the PC where I'm planning to do the test, the reading of both LXTask
and GNOME System Monitor are equal now :)

http://i39.tinypic.com/10ym7me.jpg

I don't know what is wrong with my Lubuntu 11.04? it's acting crazy
recently.

Will try to do the test today and will let you know :)

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] [12.04] Firefox instead of Chromium?

[Tim Bernhard]

Again, what is the goal of this?  If the goal is to find the lighter of the
two, will Lubuntu test and choose the lightest with each release?  Does
Lubuntu want to be constantly changing browsers?  Dose Lubuntu care if it's
open source?

I agree it should be one of the two mentioned.  I think Lubuntu should
choose one and stick with it as long as it doesn't substantially fall
behind the other.  I don't think Lubuntu should "split hairs" over
benchmarks.  If the two are close, move on to the next question.

So what is the long range stance on this.  Lightest no matter what or
lightweight balanced of other criteria?

Tim

Isn't that the same ?
I am running Chromium here on a 800 Mhz ARM Cortex A8 with 256 MB RAM.
I guess that is a low machine.
If you get to even lower hardware than both browsers feel slugish.

If you only choose software on the base of how much ram they use on
ancient hardware then you will definitely fail in delivering a good user
experience. Personal opinions matter a lot if they are supported by good
arguments.
And no I don't want to start a war here. I just want to discuss the
advantages and disadvantages of both browsers.

Google Chrome != Chromium

At least from the user perspective you have still the advantage that one
tab cannot crash the whole browser.

I really don't think that if Lubuntu would ship Chromium instead of
Firefox it will hurt Mozilla soo much that they have to fear their
existens.
And to be clear here, if we would to have choose a non free vs. a free
software then I would also argue its definitely better to promote the
free software. But in our case we have to made a choice between two free
software products.

Quoting Julien:
"We should only consider Chromium or Firefox, because they have a
strong upstream and are well maintained. Browser is a very important
part of a system, and we really don't have time to do maintenance on
it."

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] [12.04] Firefox instead of Chromium?

[b g]

This all sounds like personal preference and subjective arguments to me.
 After all, users can install whatever browser they desire.

Personally, I wish Lubuntu would boot as fast as it used to.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] [12.04] Firefox instead of Chromium?

[A. Andjelkovic]

Let's not start a war here... I don't want to be rude, but please keep such
personal opinions out of this discussion.
I think we can all agree that both Firefox and Chromium are rich in
features.
We are simply trying to find out which browser, out of Firefox and
Chromium, use the least resources.
We want to chose the lightest of the two to be our out-of-the-box web
browser, whatever users prefer to use after that is simply an apt-get away.
Let's not think in terms of "This is what I would prefer" but rather "This
is what a user on a low spec machine would prefer".

Firefox might do that in the future also, but it costs memory to
sandbox each browser tab. And I believe Chromium cheats: when
available memory gets too low, tabs begin sharing the same process so
it's a bit harder to know what's really going on.

> All in all I am in flavor of Chromium as its still faster and offers the

That's a bit subjective as Firefox also offers unique features: It's
possible to run a few hundred tabs in Firefox; the design of
Chromium's tabbar makes that much more painful in Chromium. Firefox
has a much more powerful addon framework (although Chromium may
improve this next year). The user has more control over his data with
Firefox Sync than with Google's version.

While I'm not a Google-hater, I think it's very important for the free
web that Mozilla continues to exist. Since Mozilla is a bit more open
than Chromium and multiple steps more open than Android, I think open
source fans should consider supporting Firefox if the features are
nearly equal, which in my opinion they are. This is why I hope Firefox
continues to remain the Ubuntu default browser. Since Lubuntu has
different constraints in choosing default apps, I'll let Julien and
the Lubuntu devs make their own evaluation. Both browsers are fully
supported in Ubuntu (Canonical is looking to hire someone who can help
maintain Chromium).

Its somehow funny to see everyone trying to look into the memory
consumption of firefox vs. chromium. But I just want keep in mind that
those aren't the only criteria for firefox vs. chromium.
Don't forget to compare them feature wise.
In my view Chromium offers still better features than firefox. Just look
at the HTML5 capabilities it just beats firefox here with in my view
important things just like HTML5 videoplayback (H264 is supported)
or the fact that every browser tab in chromium is running as a different
process in a sandbox which makes a crash of one tab not concerning for
other tabs. Also the startup time of chromium is still far better than
the one of firefox. Chromium also offers some little nice features like
a incognito mode that can be used alongside with the normal browsing
mode (which firefox does not have, as it closes the 'normal' browser and
opens with a incognito profile)
The memory consumption is nearly the same. Chromium seems to have a
lower memory consumption when it comes to a few open tabs. If you have
more than 5 tabs open firefox might be lower on memory consumption but
this is only my impression so far(I did not do any tests on it). If you
want to dig deep into the materia I guess reading out /proc processes is
the right way to go, or you could use the kde systemmonitor (sysguard)
which offers the most accurate memory consumption details of all the
systemmonitors so far (even giving you a list of /proc processes it
analyzed) 

All in all I am in flavor of Chromium as its still faster and offers the
better features.

Not sure about Tom's but I couldn't find any really good solutions for 
benchmarking (I was sniffing around OpenBenchmarking) browsers outside 
of silly stuff like Java and such. I certainly couldn't find anything 
that could reliably, repeatably measure startup speed. I think that's 
going to be our most contentious issue with this project.

As I understand it the "top" object in conky should be just like the 
command top. My experience says it's way off.
Anyway, lovinglinux, an add-on developer for Firefox and Ubuntu Forum 
Moderator has suggested to use "about:memory".
This works in both applications. In Firefox, the vsize and resident 
measurements track well with VM-Size and RSS in lxtask.


In Chromium, it redirects to chrome://memory-redirect/ and will even 
list other browsers. While this would be a boon for testing, as it 
wouldn't require another program to view its memory usage, it seems to 
be slightly off (~2-4MB low) in terms of reporting resident usage of 
Firefox. 


Regarding itself, I'm not too shocked it's off due to the fact that the 
memory used to report the memory isn't included. However, even though it 
breaks down the various processes, it seems to grossly under-report. For 
the main chromium-browser process ("Browser" in about:memory) it's off 
by about 20MB;  the secondary one ("Sandbox Helper") about 7MB; the 
chromium-browse process ("Tab") about 17MB; and the chromium-browser 
-type=zygote process ("Zygote") about 7MB. 


So in the end, it's not reliable. And because we can't use tools inside 
BOTH browsers to check memory usage, I suggest we forget about using 
about:memory.

My machine is P4 @3GHz - 1M Cache. RAM is 512MB which can be dropped to
256MB.
One browser will be running at one time and reading will be written down.
Then the other browser will be running and same scenario applies.
Then, we compare between the readings.

With newer machines, users shouldn't notice any difference. With old
machine, I think it might be some differences. Only test will tell :)

I think my machine will be a good match for such test. It's a desktop. By
the way, the HDD is IDE so it's typical old :)

If you check ALL my posts on Ubuntu Forum, you'll find out that I always
keep telling the users that installing "lubuntu-desktop" is NOT like
installing Lubuntu itself from LiveCD or LiveUSB.

*I see that Walter agrees with me* :)

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] [12.04] Firefox instead of Chromium?

[amjjawad HOOHAA]

It's true that I have both Ubuntu 11.04 (which I'll get rid of soon) and
Lubuntu 11.04 installed but just to be extra clear, I'm just using Lubuntu
11.04 as I'm writing this. I have LXTask (installed by default) and I have
installed recently System Monitor too.
The figures are not the same.

If some of you think conky is not accurate then let's ignore it but still,
I'm having two different readings.

Anyway, lovinglinux, an add-on developer for Firefox and Ubuntu Forum
Moderator has suggested to use "about:memory".

The test that I'm willing to do is on another PC (P4 with 256MB RAM) and it
has fresh new Lubuntu 11.10 installed.

Thanks!

P.S.
Jean-Pierre
I don't think Dual-Booting Ubuntu and Lubuntu has anything to do with that
extra 100MB IMHO. Each on different partition and each has its own files,
etc.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] [12.04] Firefox instead of Chromium?

[Chris]

Aloha Benny,

The command you are using isn't very accurate to only
chromium-browser/firefox. You'd need to run it twice (before and during the
test) to get a number on what chromium or ff is using.
Therefor using a method the pulls in these numbers automatically by process
id's or similar.

@Walter:

That kill -n command only kills the different processes or tabs in chromium
(haven't tested it on ff yet), but not the window itself. Maybe something
like killall chromium-browser will work, but we'd need to figure out if
that is necessary?

With metta, Chris

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] [12.04] Firefox instead of Chromium?

I like the idea of a script.. at least for most of it. The one bugaboo 
will be doing start up and shut down tests. Maybe we could use an 
appropriate signal? I'm not sure which one would be used to cleanly 
shutdown the program, but, for example, with SIGTERM we could do:


kill -n 15 $(pidof firefox)
kill -n 15 $(pidof chromium-browse)

We need to know what systems these are being run on.

Therefore:
uname -srov
lsb_release -a
cat /proc/cpuinfo
cat /proc/meminfo

We need to use new/fresh profiles.

So:
firefox -CreateProfile foo && firefox -P foo URLs to be opened in tabs>
chromium-browser --user-data-dir=foo opened in tabs>


One problem with this is that Chromium defaults to loading a choice of 
search engines.. so it's not technically "started up."


It IS important we use as many tabs as reasonable. There tends to be a 
bit of diversion in performance between browsers depending on the number 
of tabs opened.


As for getting resource usage, I'm thinking that a good solution would 
be to use proc. Rather than try to follow a moving target (e.g. lxtask), 
something more static might be useful:

cat /proc/$(pidof firefox)
cat /proc/$(pidof chromium-browse)

No, the Ubuntu Firefox and Chromium packages don't use the built-in

If you can create such a script, it helps a lot in other areas, too.
We can use it to do benchmark for other components of lubuntu as well.

Chromium-browser automatically checks for the latest version AFAIK. And the
script should be able to retrieve the latest version from the respective
vendor sites. If the installed version (also callable from the system)
doesn't match the latest version, then the test will fail.

Another thing to consider, is this vacancy at Canonical for a WebKit/Chromium

Make sure you are doing your tests with a clean browser profile. An
easy, safe way to do that is to create a new user and login to the new

I was suggesting some kind of script, which could write the results in a
"log" file. That way all the results will be the same on all machines and
are objective. I will need some help in creating that script probably, but
I'll be on IRC tomorrow and see what I can get bunged together.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] [12.04] Firefox instead of Chromium?

[Ali Linx]

Just a question.
Are we going to use some kind of tools/apps to do these tests? or we'll go
for the manual approach? I mean just open LXTask and take the figures from
there?

I'm going to do a fresh install for Lubuntu 11.10, run apt-get update and
then apt-get upgrade, install Firefox and make sure both browsers are
up-to-date then start some tests.
We need to use the same tool/app for that. LXTask, Terminal, etc?

Thanks!

*"Maybe chromium has some hidden resource usage not covered by the test?"*


To avoid this kind of doubt, I think it is better to make a new boot, open
the Chromium Browser (with tabs and common pages), and see how much of CPU
and RAM the *whole system* are using.
Then you reboot and do the same thing with Firefox.

This would be better with the alpha version of 12.04, and not with the
final version of 11.10.

Proposal for browser benchmarks:

- First of all, run the browsers without any add-on
- Take starts time
- Watch lxtask for memory usage & cpu. Inside Chromium about:memory shows
the memory used by each browser running too. Htop?
- Watch the general behaviour
- Sites: youtube, gmail, google, facebook, ubuntu forums (each alone, by
groups of two, three, four and finally five - I don't think that old
machines could support easily more than 5 tabs opened!)

Let me know if this is enough, what else should be added or if i'm just

As far as I know, Chromium uses a patched webkit, that's probably why
the tests could be different between midori, epiphany and chromium.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] [12.04] Firefox instead of Chromium?

[PCMan]

Thank you for your test.
I, however, have some doubt about the chromium test.
Since midori, epiphany, and chromium all uses webkit, what makes so many
differences?
The most memory-demanding parts should be webkit and the graphics.
I don't believe that the remaining parts can cause so much impact.
A minimalist webkit browser with few features, midori, uses three times of
memory required by chromium, a complicated and feature-rich webkit browser.
Is that possible? I don't think so, and chromium even loads gtk2 as well.
So the result is really questions. Maybe chromium has some hidden resource
usage not covered by the test?

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] [12.04] Firefox instead of Chromium?

[A. Andjelkovic]

Just finished some testing using:

Chromium 15.0.874.102
Firefox 7.0.1

No extensions, no tab history (tabs are "clean").

1 tab (logged into gmail)
chromium-browser: 50.1 + 24.7 + 9.1 = 83.9 MB
firefox: 97.2 MB

2 tabs (logged into gmail, ubuntuforums.org)
chromium-browser: 54.5 + 24.7 + 9.1 = 88.3 MB
firefox: 97.4 MB

Summary:
Not only does Chromium start slightly faster, it still has lower memory
usage with few tabs running. Firefox has improved A LOT however, we should
keep our eyes open in the future.
I don't know how much the gtk2 vs gtk3 issue affects us, but I suppose we
should aim at only using gtk3 apps?

Yes, it missed 2 points :
- memory management on Linux (we can't rely on Windows one to do proper
comparison on Linux)
- memory usage on a limited device

At least, it shows that Firefox is probably much better than when we
done the switch to Chromium.

Yes, I realized it could be a bad idea for now. Let's first decide, we as a
team then we can go public.

So, I just sent to Jean-Pierre. Any thing specific in your mind to test and
compare these two browser? I have a P4 and can drop my RAM to 256MB (it
shows 242MB actually on the Task Manager).

Let me know :)

Whatever in your mind, let me know and I'll be more than glad to do it :)
Don't have specific ideas at the time being. I'm willing to open many tabs
and monitor that. Don't have special tools to do such job.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] [12.04] Firefox instead of Chromium?

Just to get an idea, i've installed and run on my new laptop Epiphany 
3.0.4, Firefox 7.0.1, Chromium 14.0.835, Midori 0.4.0.

Here's what i get with two facebook tabs + gmail:

Firefox: 268,7MB ram | 0% CPU
Epiphany: 261,3MB ram | 0-1% CPU
Midori: 225,6MB ram | 0-2% CPU
Chromium: 69+19,8+6,1MB ram (94,9) | 0,0,0% CPU

I'm impress with chromium... maybe there's another process i'm missing? 
(i've only looked at the processes called "chromium-browser")


The faster to open is from far Midori (And the one that has less 
dependencies).


I'll try later those four on my Pentium 3 machine...

@ALI, is there a specific way that you're gonna make your "benchmarks"? 
I'm saying it so we can compare our results :)

I also agree.   Both browsers are widely accepted work equally well for general use.   I think the question should be a) do we want to pick one and stick with it for the sake of consistency or b) always choose the lightest of the two?Tim-- Sent from my HP TouchPadOn Nov 5, 2011 9:07 PM, Julien Lavergne  wrote: Hi,

Adopting Midori for example, means we have to do the maintenance on Ubuntu (triage bugs, testing, maybe some packaging ...).

So far, I don't see advantages to switch to Firefox. Of course, if the benchmarks show a real difference, I may reconsider my opinion.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] [12.04] Firefox instead of Chromium?

[Ali Linx]

I have a P4 PC with 512MB RAM but I can drop that to 256.
I'm ready for such tests ;)

Also, I think it's important to ask the users to vote for that, not only
us. I can start a thread on Ubuntu Forum but I need to hear first from
Julien and others about that.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] [12.04] Firefox instead of Chromium?

[Chris]

Are those benchmarks from Tom's Hardware documented at all? Maybe we could
"rebuild" those benchmarks for linux? When they are run on a low-spec
machine then the results should be the same on other machines. User tests
should be done to verify the results aren't just laboratory results.

I might be interested to builds those benchmarks systems, but would need
help with making them.

Tom's Hardware regularly benchmarks browsers, but sadly only under
Windows and OS X.  The relevant page (Memory Efficiency) for a recent
test is at:

  http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/firefox-7-web-browser,3037-14.html

If (and this is a big IF) these results are similar to those in Lubuntu
on low-RAM machines, it might indeed be time to rethink use of Chromium.

Does anyone on the list have the experience, willingness and time to run
some documented and repeatable benchmarks of Chromium and FF7 under
Lubuntu in low RAM machines for us?

[Glenn de Groot]

Epihany is pretty good since 3.0, very stable.Midori became pretty much an 
Elementary browser and looks a little odd now, but Epiphany is well integrated, 
it looks like a cute mini Firefox.I believe dependencies are like 
Midori.Epiphany used to be not as good as Midori but the GNOME-devs worked real 
hard, and it shows.With Epiphany we are 100% sure we have GTK3 and there are 
more developers then Midori has.
If you try, don´t install epiphany but epiphany-browser, because epiphany is a 
game. :P

agreed. i wouldn't suggest anything else tho there are other, more

Browser is a very important part of a system, and we really don't have time to 
do maintenance on it. Adopting Midori for example, means we have to do the

if we really wanted to go lightweight, we'd do w3m or dillo or 
something. lubuntu is light, but not THAT light :)

i have had better luck with chromium when resources are a limited. i've 
seen what appear to be memory leaks in firefox that they always claim is 
due to some plugin though other browsers don't have this same problem. 
chromium of course sandboxes each process/plugin, so this is usually not 
a session-wide issue if you will.


despite that, i'm a firefox user. for one, i've got a ppc machine 
(though i'm installing on a thinkpad now) which means that anything but 
chromium is the only option. secondly, there are some plugins i would 
really miss. i've tried a couple times to move away (especially after 
experiencing webkit which seems to work a heck of a lot better overall), 
but i keep coming back.


despite all this, the user has the option of changing whatever they want 
at any time. so then comes the question of the target audience..

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] [12.04] Firefox instead of Chromium?

[Julien Lavergne]

Hi,

I'm not very fan of a change unless we have a strong consensus for another 
browser. But, this is my opinion :
- We should only consider Chromium or Firefox, because they have a strong 
upstream and are well maintained. Browser is a very important part of a system, 
and we really don't have time to do maintenance on it. Adopting Midori for 
example, means we have to do the maintenance on Ubuntu (triage bugs, testing, 
maybe some packaging ...).
- Benchmark are needed, because just saying it's light, doesn't mean it's 
always light. Also, the memory usage for Chromium is special, because it shares 
memory (there is an article from a dev of Chromium somewhere in the Web which 
explain it).
- Finally, it needs to be light on old hardware. Remember, it's the main target 
for Lubuntu. So far, Chromium seems better on this type of machine.

So far, I don't see advantages to switch to Firefox. Of course, if the 
benchmarks show a real difference, I may reconsider my opinion.

Julien Lavergne

GTK2 will be in the Ubuntu repositories for years to come. A goal is
to get it off the main Ubuntu CD but that doesn't look likely for
Ubuntu 12.04.

The Banshee decision is being made based on a number of factors, not
just GTK2 and Microsoft fear.

I love them both so whatever you guys decide, I don't mind.
All what I care about is overall performance.

I've noticed FF started to be lighter than before. I also noticed it takes
so much from RAM with 3-4 opened tabs. Don't have time to test that for
now.

Again, whatever your choice will be, I'm ok because after all, I do need
them both installed :)

Ali,

It's been mentioned that the new FF7 is lightweight again, that's why it's
been brought up. Personally I don't like FF, so personally I'd vote
Chromium. But if with benchmarks/user tests it's proven that FF is the
better one, than we should consider switching.

Keep Chromium. Users, as always, can install Firefox whenever they want.

Firefox is my no.1 browser but I must have them both. I run both of them at
the same time (FF and Chromium).
Let's keep in mind that Chromium is lighter than Firefox. After all,
Lubuntu is a lightweight distribution so please keep it as it's :)

I've also found Chromium to be better than Firefox when there is less than 512 
MiB of RAM.  I haven't really checked memory/CPU usage but Chromium is more 
responsive with 6-8 tabs open.  With less than 256 MiB of RAM Firefox really 
seems to struggle with only 3-4 tabs open.  This isn't just a case of a PIII 
CPU struggling either.  I have a 'brand new', never out of it's box, 2003 
vintage, Dell 4600 2.4Mhz P4 with 256 MiB of RAM, AGP8 video and Firefox is 
slow in this as well.

As much as I like Firefox I think Chromium is the way to go for Lubuntu.

Midori isn't a REAL optin right now, because of handling
certificates and such things. A better option should be Arora. But
Alexander is right. Firefox 7 has improved a lot with beta 7, and 8
is more promising. But I don't give any point until benchmark is

mean by "ready to use"

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] [12.04] Firefox instead of Chromium?

[James Gifford]

Define "ready to use" - Midori might not have hit 1.0, but in the days
where I come back from a walk around the block and Chromium's bumped
another version number, that's hardly a way to measure things.

If it came to a vote, I'd keep Chromium, it's stable, it works, and
it's got a large upstream which means we don't have to worry a *lot*
about security bugs.
Cheers,
James Gifford

 I'm not sure if this was discussed on UDS, but in my opinion, this is

 Firefox has reduced it's memory usage dramatically, and I'm currently
 trying out Firefox 7 as a replacement.
 I do not have detailed memory benchmarks (yet!), but I will definitely
 do
 some benchmarks in the near future.
 However, I'm pretty sure Firefox has better (lower) memory usage when
 having several tabs open (more than 3).

 Other reasons to switch:
 GTK3

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] [12.04] Firefox instead of Chromium?

[James Gifford]

In fact, if we were really looking for a lightweight browser, might I
suggest Midori?[1] It's a Webkit based browser, very lightweight on
CPU/RAM.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] [12.04] Firefox instead of Chromium?

[Jean-Pierre Vidal Piesset]

If it's a vote... i would keep chromium. I always keep both browsers 
"just in case", but "my" benchmarks on my old pentium 3 can't tell any 
real difference with just one tab opened. Start time, firefox seems a 
little bit slower to start.


I'll run some "benchmarks" in the next days in the following machine: 
1000mhz, 512ram (Pentium3).


Still, you should take a look at the dependencies too... my guess is 
that we should keep chromium in this case (i believe that firefox 
installs some nautilus stuff)


Ps: when it will be "ready" we could try Midori (it's the faster browser 
i can try on my old machine!). But really... when it will be *ready* to 
use!!

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] [12.04] Firefox instead of Chromium?

[James Gifford]

I'm one of the "target audiences" for Lubuntu, mainly that of the
underpowered netbook user.

In my experience, Chromium is faster, until you start having a ton
(read: 4-10) tabs open. At that point, Firefox starts to be better.

Just my two cents.

[Lubuntu-desktop] [12.04] Firefox instead of Chromium?

[A. Andjelkovic]

I wanted to bring up the discussion about replacing Chromium with Firefox
in 12.04.
I'm not sure if this was discussed on UDS, but in my opinion, this is worth
looking into.

Firefox has reduced it's memory usage dramatically, and I'm currently
trying out Firefox 7 as a replacement.
I do not have detailed memory benchmarks (yet!), but I will definitely do
some benchmarks in the near future.
However, I'm pretty sure Firefox has better (lower) memory usage when
having several tabs open (more than 3).

Other reasons to switch:
GTK3
Better desktop integration (Chromium themeing is limited and hard to
include as default)
