The all-new Firefox for Android (codename Daylight) is lightening fast, and perceptibly seems on-par with the Chrome for Android in terms of responsiveness.
What stumps me is Chrome for Android is 3.8MB whereas Firefox Daylight is upwards of 40MB.
- outworlder 6y agoNot sure if they will keep this edge given all the loss of talent.
- elisaado 6y agoChrome's engine is built into Android, whereas the engine Firefox uses is not and thus has to be shipped with it.
- agi0 6y agoI haven't looked at what Google does recently but you're likely getting most of Chrome in a separate package (e.g. the system WebView). Chrome and Firefox are of compareble size IIRC (56MB vs 65MB)
- avasthe 6y agoWhat's sad is they only support very few selected Add Ons.
