praised Microsoft for giving up EdgeHTML, while Mozilla also knows that this has increased the difficulty of Firefox's revival. In many ways, enhancements to Google’s functions are risky. A large part of
depends on the behavior of the service and website creators. If products like Chromium occupy sufficient market share, web developers and enterprises can feel more at ease with Chromium’s compatibility.
Just as Microsoft IE monopolized the browser market in the early 2000s before the birth of Firefox, this situation is likely to happen again. If
is only considered from the market strategy, the migration to the Chromium kernel has indeed greatly improved the market share of the new version of the Microsoft Edge browser. While the new version of Edge easily jumped, Firefox also regrettably lost its second place in the global browser market.
Of course, Mozilla has been welcoming healthy market competition, and Firefox users can ultimately benefit. As part of the measures taken earlier this year, Mozilla is now able to release a major version of Firefox updates every four weeks.
Although there are occasional bugs that need to be addressed, Firefox is still the world's leading browser, especially in the adoption of new features, such as the first to support multiple picture-in-picture windows.
In addition, the Firefox browser receives major updates every month, such as the pure HTTPS mode for all platforms introduced in the recently released Firefox 83, PiP shortcuts, search, and major improvements in browser performance.
It is reported that Mozilla officially launched Firefox 83 on November 17th, and replaced part of the JavaScript engine, which helps to improve code compilation and website rendering, and at the same time enhance the security and maintainability of the engine. Thanks to the major update of the JavaScript engine (SpiderMonkey), the speed of Firefox has been further improved. Page load +15%, response speed +12%, and memory usage has been reduced by 8%.
All in all, Microsoft's migration to Chromium has not had much impact on the future development of Firefox, and has improved the user's browsing experience in some ways.
Finally, Mozilla Firefox is still the only advanced choice to replace Google Chromium browser on the market.
