Jaybonaut Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Yes I have, the lightning version. Definitely noticeably faster than FF but I have to admit I have not loaded it up with any extensions or bookmarks yet.

spaceelf Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 I'll probably set it to default unless it annoys me at some point, but I don't know if there's any point to using it over anything else.

cork1958 Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Hmm, missed this when it was originally posted in that news section. Trying it now. About time a different browser not based on Chrome came along.

I was more or less saying this is a newer one that I hadn't heard of before.

Brandon H Supervisor Posted November 6, 2023 Supervisor Share Posted November 6, 2023 tried out the browser for a bit but there is one deal breaker for me right now keeping me from using it full time on my home PC. It doesn't support the PWA extension properly yet. Wish Mozilla hadn't decided to drop native PWA support Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1435255-has-anyone-used-floorp-yet/#findComment-598862326 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to give it another try once the version releases.
