For me, Chrome wins purely on speed. Like the article says, "it [Chrome] feels faster, and that's all that matters." Once in a while I need to use Firefox to test something, and it just feels painfully slow in comparison.
- bluesnowmonkey 16y agoIronically, for me Chrome loses on speed. I intentionally use somewhat underpowered tools for development. The danger is accidentally building something that runs fine on my system but that drags for users, i.e. the Crysis effect. Until the whole world uses Chrome, I can't target that level of performance.
- bobf 16y agoThat's a good point. I was simply speaking from a usage standpoint, not for development. Also, I suspect you're talking about javascript speed -- I was mainly addressing non-javascript rendering. Chrome feels basically instant, while Firefox's rendering takes an extra 300-500ms.. just enough to feel really sluggish.
