Quantum's performance is great, but I personally haven't liked the direction that Mozilla is taking Firefox in general for a while; nor some of the newer features like Pocket and the cluttered about:home page. Waterfox is a drop-in replacement for pre-Quantum Firefox, and is compatible with all of the addons that Quantum ended support for.
You know, I'm a chronic lurker (I think this may actually be my first Tildes comment), but that's an interesting perspective that I've never thought of. I basically browse reddit for the comments, and less so for the actual content being commented on. I'm subbed to a lot of the AskReddit, BestOf, and other subs that are pure talk, and no linked content at all. I'm finding myself needing to make a sort of paradigm shift browsing Tildes, because the discussion is much shorter with fewer comments overall.
On the other hand, I rarely ever comment on Reddit because of the open-forum factor. I don't really like the idea that anyone, anywhere in the world, can openly see everything I said 3 years ago; and a lot of interesting threads are so saturated that conversely, no one in the actual thread will ever see my comment on the topic anyway. So rather than changing how I speak on other platforms, I'm moreso seeing that there is actually an opportunity for me to participate here, rather than just keep quiet and stick to reading what other people have to say.
