It feels faster on some sites, a bit slower (but not unbearably so) on others.

Worked for me. Switched to FF because I just can't trust Chrome anymore. FF feels like a breath of fresh air.

I made the same switch (on Ubuntu) yesterday. For me, the performance is the same, if not better in FF. What does feel less slick in FF is the UI (Settings etc.).

I just switched on my Ubuntu, following the new release of Chrome which OP rightly criticizes. It works very well.

Or switch to another browser such as FF where you have to worry less about the problem in the first place and are guaranteed to get updates.

I recommend Zork on that list. Recently played it for the first time and it's a great experience. Your mind fills in so much more than virtual images or sounds could create.

I think "make GDPR compliant" should come much later. Most new businesses fail. In that case, any time you spent on GDPR will have been a waste.

Had to re-read to see 1.5 GB per day. Wow. I used to think we had it good in Austria (10GB for €10 per month). But that is fantastic.

That's evident from the article. And it does not change the fact that the headline is clickbait, a promise which the article fails to deliver on.

Calling a popular term "dead" is certainly a good way to attract clicks. And sure, when money is cheap and you have $2B to spend, you can afford to throw much bigger Spaghetti at the wall. But Lean defines a startup as a project under extreme uncertainty. Commercial video streaming sites exist, the only thing that seems to be new about the example in the article is the video length. I would not consider this an environment of extreme uncertainty. So imho, while cheap money does change the equation, 99% of the article's punch lies in its clickbaity headline.
