Every time the Firefox v Chrome debate comes up I feel a little crazy when speed gets discussed.
They're the same speed, right?
Web pages on the other hand... 2 seconds to bring in the bulk of the content. Another second spent firing ajax requests to all the trackers. 2 seconds for me to click through all the Cookie notifications, GDPR violations, and bald-faced lies that the site values my privacy. What's a ballpark figure for the actual render bit? 10-50 ms?
What sites are you guys using which are fast enough to notice slowdown in the browser?
- weystrom 7y agoJust opening a new tab, when you have a lot of tabs open, is slow on Firefox. Chrome is also much better for web video. Sites like Youtube and twitch.tv perform better on Chrome. I don't have any benchmarks on hand, but that's how I feel after switch between two browsers for a while. I think I'm sticking to Chromium.
- krzyk 7y agoYoutube slows down on non-Chromium browsers on purpose (Shadow DOM v0 and see also problems Edge devs had with it). Try non-Google websites to compare speed.
- floatboth 7y agoYouTube feels very fast for me in Firefox. The v0 polyfill is not slow, you shouldn't notice any slowdown from it unless your hardware is really really bad.
