Sample size of one:
i7 laptop, 16 GB of RAM, nothing else running
Chrome: ~45 seconds to become usable, blank white window appears at 5 seconds into that wait time and just sits there
Firefox: ~10 seconds to become usable
- everydaypanos 8y agoYou launch vanilla Chrome and you wait 45 seconds to be able to do anything? How is that even possible
- ohithereyou 8y agoSome Internet sites at work require Chrome, so if I want to be able to file a timesheet or request vacation I have to wait on Chrome.
- thesandlord 8y agoAre you using an SSD? What extensions are both browsers running? Did you do a fresh reboot? This seems pretty slow for both.
- ohithereyou 8y agoYes, I am using an SSD. No extensions in either browser.
- Karunamon 8y agoOddly, it's always been the reverse for me. Especially after a month or so has passed. Both of them are pretty light, Chrome definitely gets perceptibly slower after some heavy usage, but only Firefox manages to become unbearably slow. There's still some kind of design about Firefox that causes it to bog down after daily driving for a long while.
