If not chrome, what is a good browser to use nowadays? I like Firefox but the last year I keep bumping in to websites that don't work so we'll on Firefox. Mostly web apps. So then what is left?

Vivaldi is a productivity dream. Unfortunately it's built on chromium so it's not a complete break but it absolutely leaves every other browser in the dust in terms of how good it is. One of its best features is the ability to limit how much ram and CPU the browser as a whole uses or just certain sites. The amount of features it has is insane. Page tiling is my favourite one

Limiting resources sounds cool. I wish I could at least determine why Firefox sometimes goes out of control eating everything. Setting a resource limit per page would be good too. Sometimes my whole computer is ground to a halt, but closing a single tab fixes it. Often not a page that is obviously doing much. Certain ecommerce sites are frequent culprits. Doing something in the background.

Firefox can tile two pages now: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/firefox/split-view/
