Yes. It's my second browser (and was my main browser until I switched to FF Nightly in the summer). And no, it isn't faster - at least not for me. And it hogs memory as if there's no other software running on my PC. I'm really happy that I can use FF again instead.
- fastball 9y agoit hogs my memory if there's no other software running What exactly is wrong with that? Do you understand how RAM works on a computer? Maybe your system is different, but for me, FF 57+ uses much more CPU than Chrome, and unlike RAM, that's a statistic that actually affects something in a meaningful way (increased power consumption). If you're worried about Chrome using RAM when nothing else is, you might be fetishizing the concept of free RAM.
