, which is long enough for Mozilla's rapid development cycle to have made some substantial changes in the browser.

Some of the new features are relatively small, but will make some users' lives better. If you have to print a page, there's a new option to print just the current page – handy for tickets and other documents with loads of irrelevant small print tacked on the end.

Firefox 105 is leaner and meaner, and remains both more efficient and way more customisable than any Chrome-based browser. Memory handling has been tightened up, and the browser now handles low-memory situations better on both Windows and Linux. It should remain quicker and more responsive when short on RAM, and avoid crashing if it runs out of space, as there is improved protection for the main process.

Both memory usage and user interface are areas where Firefox retains an edge over Google's Chrome, especially if you routinely use lots of tabs. Chrome spawns a new process for each tab you open, which is good if you have lots of RAMbrowsing the web is one of your principle uses for your computer. Since almost all of Google's services are web-based and web-centric, it makes perfect sense for the company.
