PSA for people donating their cpu time: try a few browsers, my Firefox (bottom) gets better hash rates over Chrome

Opera seems to give me best results.

I've heard a lot about Opera, and have considered getting it, but I've been putting it off. I've been using Chrome, but I'm a bit dissatisfied with it (and Google in general); could you tell me about the browser some and some of its advantages/disadvantages?

It is stable, light-weight, and fast.
It doesn't have all the plugins and extras that chrome/firefox have. But it is a solid browser.

I typically use chrome for browsing, but Opera for anything that needs speed or stability.

Does that mean you could not use an ad-blocker with Opera?

I'm getting better performance on Firefox too. 70H/s on Chromium, 93 on Firefox

My hash rates are all over the place (45% variation) and I've just been using firefox. Just stopping and restarting can change the rate. Sometimes the miner just stops on its own, then restarts at a different rate.

The rate also seems largely insensitive to the thread count regardless of whether my CPU load is at 50% or 100%.
