It will always be faster in Windows. When you're running IE, you're running IE. But when you're running Firefox, you're running Firefox + IE :-D

- nhumrich 8y agoWhat? Howso? Firefox doesn't piggy back on edge/ie.
- severino 8y agoWell, you know, up until recently (don't know if still is) IE was a core part of the operating system, not just the browser itself. That meant that using IE alone will have for example less battery usage than using Firefox, or any other browser, "alone", as you would be running IE too.
- ripdog 8y agoUh, theres no reason for IE to use less battery because it's 'part of the OS'. In the end, IE still has to do all the tasks to render a webpage which Firefox or Chrome have to do. It might be able to leverage some fancy hidden OS features to be slightly more efficient/use the hardware better in some way, but fundamentally it doesn't have much of an advantage.
- severino 8y agoI think you got me wrong. What I meant was that, when you're browsing the web with IE, it is IE which is draining your battery. However, when you're using Firefox, it's not only Firefox who drains your battery, but also this always-running IE process. My comment was mostly a joke, I don't know to what extent this might be a thing.
