I agree. I tried to switch several times since 2016. A couple of months ago, Firefox finally performed well enough I could do it. I'm the type of person who has five windows open with twenty tabs each, and it handles that now.
I also added Container Tabs Sidebar, DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials, Firefox Multi-Account Containers (this thing is amazing for keeping sites separate!), and uBlock Origin. I like it now more than Chrome.
- nextos 6y agoFor me the killer addon is Temporary Containers. It creates and destroys containers for each domain or subdomain, but you can include exceptions.
- jholman 6y agoI've been keeping ten to twenty windows open, with 100-800 tabs total, in Firefox, since before Chrome existed. Chrome never has even come close to being able to handle that. I am so baffled by stories like yours.

- Jnr 6y agoSame here. I use Firefox with Tree Style Tabs extension with lots of open tabs. I could never manage that in Chrome. Ever since the Quantum updates Firefox has become faster but it wasn't very slow to begin with. Maybe it was a bit slower on some netbooks bit it hasn't been an issue on my PC.
