Hi If I understand well the first and actualized message, you propose us to buy new fast PCs for 650 $ plus monitor (installed power for it?). for different user is the quality (resolution, sound, stereo) and performance (turnable, variable high, installed power and consumption) of monitor very imp...

the only reason chromium is fast is because it's an older version, the last version to have hardware acceleration. if you try to update any of the chrome based browsers in quickpet (vivaldi,opera,chrome etc) you'll be bitterly disappointed. On a 16 core cpu with a nvidia 1050ti card 360p videos hav...

Thanks for not answering my questions. Most of your questions are already answered. And thanks for not testing youtube with a slow cpu and a slow video card on different browsers. So, do not use Pale Moon browser. Your problem solved. It's not my problem, it's many people's problems, with slow hard...

I think Phil recommends at least a core duo (not the much slower dual core). You should do your testing with a faster cpu to get meaningful and useful results. You can't expect the latest browsers to work well on really old junk machines. Art Stop spreading misinformation. With my dual core, chromi...

You Tube videos in Pale Moon. Pale Moon->Preferences has settings for graphics in several places. Try changing or selecting some of them. I just ran a You Tube video at HD 1080p quality and Pale Moon CPU usage is around 30%. However, actual CPU overall usage is around 10%. What are you using to get...

Is Steam now working? I just did it and it runs for me. Now I see why it didnt work for me : it's because I ran it from the terminal, but phil included LIBGL_DRI3_DISABLE somewhere, so it works from the menu , and not from the terminal. :) Anyway, that should solve the problem for now. Other stuff ...
