It is not really faster than Chrome, but hey, at least I don’t have to manually opt out of monetizing my browsing history and my adblocker still works.

It is if I close my eyes and stick my fingers in my ears.

Its also not really slower. If you are blocking plugins, it can be faster.

Its fast enough I think is the broader point.

It’s a weird pissing contest that still makes people angry for no reason, is what it is.

It’s not the 90s, you’re not trying to parse a bunch of tables on a creaking chunk of barely cooked sand. You’re basically running standalone software through your browser anyway.

Honestly, the one performance thing that bothers me on any modern browser is that some extension in my stack somewhere is memory leaking and makes me restart Firefox to restore performance every few hours. Can’t tell which one, but I need all of them, so hey, frequent reboots it is.

Once it’s slower, hit F12 -> memory -> snapshot

Should be pretty easy to check out which extension has shitloads of storage. Then you can decide how to go from there - maybe contact the author?

i looked at the graph and it seems like the speed of firefox is way more stable. At the moment i think the normal speeds are equal. Chrome has sometimes very big spikes in booth directions (the grey dots on the right sides that seem to be out of order) so the fastes from the records is still chrome, on this one specific date

Firefox actually has surpassed Chrome recently in benchmarks
