    Ok, FF got its ass kicked this time. It could be a good reminder to Mozilla that they should focus on their browser and its market share instead of continuing to pursue side quests that lead nowhere.

    I will continue to use FF for reasons other than performance (good adblocker, etc), but it was a bit sad seeing that I could’ve been getting more out of my hardware by using another browser.

      FF will find it very hard to compete with chrome. Its has so much engineering talent pumped into it.

      As long as firefox is good and free im happy i never expect it to be the preformance leader again.

    I just browse text based websites. To me the browser performance doesn’t really matter at all.

    Does it support pwa? Does it allow to block ads and harmful content? That’s important to me.

    Disappointing, but not surprising. The performance of the browser is not an issue on my side. These are just synthetic benchmarks, so not very interesting to me. I wonder if one can “feel” (not just measure) the difference of performance when using both browsers. I don’t use Chrome and probably never will, so cannot compare.

      Sometimes I use chromium for some specific sites that won’t work in firefox, and unfortunately, the difference in performance is noticeable.

    These results aren’t exactly orders of magnitude apart. Especially with FF being more customizable and able to limit tracking better, and thus save data and compute, slight advantages really do come out in the wash.

    I just want my browser to be FOSS, private, and secure. I don’t care if it’s the fastest.

    Fast is nice, but fastest doesn’t matter.
