#Floorp runs very nicely on my proper pooter, 2015 tower running
,
kinoite, &
cinnamon. i7 cpu with integrated gpu
is unviable on my pretend pooter, 2011 dell xps 15 running
kinoite, due to driving the cpu% nuts, & thus also the fan. i5 cpu with NVIDIA GeForce GT 420M gpu
on both pooters, but every now & then change to
for a while... which is generally a nice UX on tower, & terrible on lappy as noted. reverting to #FirefoxNightly on lappy instead of Floorp makes the cpu & fan happy again.
fork
i have been intrigued by it & very frequently browser-hopped back & forth twixt
and
. today, with the advent of v12.13.0 i have done another hop, not only but primarily to enjoy the better #SplitView capability compared to
... up to 4 tabs can be split, & we can choose vertical, horizontal, or grid split layout.
