Firefox is about to get much, much faster
Firefox got speedy last year when its Quantum browser rolled out — now it’s set to get even faster. The latest release prioritizes its performance management “to-do” list with a set of features that’ll load pages up to 40-80 percent quicker. The browser will now suspend idle tabs, delay lesser-used scripts and skip unnecessary work during start-ups.
Other new features include a fully accessible browser toolbar, which aims to make the web accessible for even more people regardless of their abilities, an AV1 update for smoother video playback and, rolling out gradually over the coming year, a WebRender update, which will make browsing look and feel faster and more efficient.

To no one’s surprise, Huawei isn’t reacting calmly to losing key suppliers in the wake of the US’ trade restrictions. Representative Abraham Liu said the company was the “victim of the bullying by the US administration,” and that this was an attack on the “liberal, rules-based order.” He added that the company wasn’t taking the loss of Android support lying down. Huawei was “working closely” with Google to see how it could “handle the situation,” Liu said, noting that Google had no motivations to block the company beyond complying with US law.
