I guess I'm in the minority then. Firefox is markedly slow in rendering and navigating large pages. Even searching inside the page is slow. Chrome doesn't even notice a difference. Edge is similarly indifferent to the page size, but it's buggy as hell in general.
It's infuriating that after all these years Firefox is still so much behind on basic performance.
- ploxiln 10y agoWhat's infuriating to me (except that I've mellowed about it over the years) is that web pages use as much cpu and memory as they can get away with, up to the edge of un-usability. Pre-mature optimization being evil and all that. FWIW here's a huge page with colored text and links (real html stuff), and it's quite snappy in firefox: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/diff/?id=v4.7.8&id2=v4.7&context=3&ignorews=0&dt=0 https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-st...
