Chrome and Safari are light for me. The fan never goes. But that's also
probably because they have never been my primary browsers.

I admit, FF 57 is sleeker and lighter (which means my fan runs at half
mast instead of full blast, hehe).

So I'm guessing all of those are broken in FF 57, yes?

I don't use a bunch of add-ons on FF... just:

    - DownThemAll (need to overcome TCP).
    - Linkification (nice when the browser can detect links in text).
    - Status-4-Evar (progress bars of pages loading is a thing).

But alas, all those are broken in FF 57.

A use-case for when I upgrade to the Touch Bar :-)...

I'm just enjoy not having to boot a Linux VM to enjoy a Maildir system
on my Mac. One step toward joy at a time :-)...

Mark.
