My current daily driver is a Dell PowerEdge T30 with a Xeon E3-1225 v5 processor, 2 @ 8 GB ECC RAM in dual channel mode, and an Intel SSD 520 Series 60 GB: 2024-12-11 21:21:18 dpchrist@laalaa ~ $ cat /etc/debian_version; uname -a; dpkg-query --show xfce4; dpkg-query --show firefox-esr 11.11 Linux laalaa 5.10.0-33-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.226-1 (2024-10-03) x86_64 GNU/Linux xfce4 4.16 firefox-esr 128.5.0esr-1~deb11u1 The desktop usage experience is more than satisfactory. I have installed the NoScript extension in Firefox. I typically enable only enough JavaScript to get a site working. YouTube recently changed their site such that videos stall after about a minute if google.com is blocked. When I enabled google.com, Firefox became very sluggish. The problem is not Firefox, the problem is corporations that want to monetize WWW users via JavaScript. David
