- andai 6y agoCtrl+N. New browser window. This is true across computers and across operating systems.
- onli 6y agoDefinitely not true on my system. There is a flash of some reorganization of the windows content that Chromium does not do, but both windows open instantly. And also: Come on, that wouldn't make a browser slow. Users open new windows once when starting the browser. The rest is about how fast they render pages, react to JS workloads, and maybe how fast they open tabs. FF is more than on par in all of this.
- andai 6y agoI open new windows constantly. Opening the actual browser though is a whole other story, where the difference is even more striking. Curious what you said about FF reorganizing the window contents, in my experience Chrome does that and not FF. It's true JS performance is quite similar. But I've noticed (measured) differences in page load speed as well -- including latency again, the time until it actually responds to the enter key and initiates a network request. (In the network panel this is reported as Stalled.)
