"I have a Lenovo X1 Carbon that has a 14 inch screen with a 2560x1440 resolution. While not quite Retina Display quality, it still has enough pixels to make everything on the screen appear tiny with a regular 96 DPI setting. Trying to fix this in browsers by increasing font sizes breaks quite a few sites, while custom DPI settings works better. Firefox Open about:config and set the property layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to the desired value, in my case 1."

"I have once again switched browsers, the pendulum is now on the Firefox side. However when I changed my Emacs config to open links in firefox it didn’t work. Instead I got the error message “Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.” It turned out that I had both the firefox and firefox-esr packages installed, and browse-url-firefox tried to open iceweasel instead of firefox."

"I switch browsers like others switch … something they switch very often. Why does it have to be so hard? All I want is a browser that: Is small and nimble Feels like a Mac application Has good ad blocking support Handles Flash on demand Safari locks up too often, and a number of sites do not work with it. Shiira is small and nice, but has no decent ad blocking."
