I guess it depends per device and use-case. I use Firefox everywhere. Home (PC with Linux OS), work (laptop with Linux OS) and on my phone.
On my pc I have 0 RAM or CPU issues with Firefox. (intel i5, and nvidia GTS 250, ancient I know.)
On my laptop (intel i7 and nvidia NVS 5200M) I have had serious CPU issues though. With version 57 it used to stay above 90% CPU for hours. Since version 58 though it's been a lot better. Sometimes stays at about 40% for a while, then goes back down to like 10%. I suspect it might be due to some of the tabs I have open with zabbix graphs, but I don't know for certain.
I love using firefox on my phone because it's the only mobile browser that can use uBlock Origin. I don't care how fast or smooth chrome is on mobile, I'm not gonna use it if the price you have to pay is being eye-raped by ads.
- y4mi 9y agothe Brave browser is another alternative with ad blocking. and its got smooth scrolling. (at least on android)
- executesorder66 9y agoI'll try it out. Is the adblocker/s for it open-source?
- y4mi 9y agoi think so, but didn't audit it myself * https://github.com/brave/browser-android-tabs https://github.com/brave/browser-android-tabs * https://github.com/brave/adblock-lists https://github.com/brave/adblock-lists * https://github.com/brave/ad-block https://github.com/brave/ad-block
