I switched in late 2017 when they released quantum or neutrino or whatever they called it, a huge performance release. As a backend dev and security focused eng I have little reason to test drive changes in all browsers. FF has been smooth and stable for me across desktop OSs. Having no reason to alternate between that and Chrome, I’ve been confused by people saying it’s slow. It’s been, to my memory, a flawless experience for 3+ years. On the flip side, Chrome is a spy app, and a cognitive perception of web devs it’s faster does little to move me to use it.

Just interact with the Facebook chat in Chrome and FF, and you'll see that FF is significantly slower. That being said I use 90% FF, 9% safari and 0.999...% Chrome, because FF handling of tabs/containers/add-ons offers superior UX despite the performance annoyances. IMO, obviously.

  Ah well I nuked my FB account in 2010, as the spyware nature of it was obvious to me then

  I think is down to the fact that most websites target chrome first as it has the biggest market share. I've noticed reddit is rather slow in ff but other than that not really nocoed anything massively slow or broken.

I've had a similar experience. My only gripe is that the Facebook Container extension / Multi-Account Containers[0] stopped working for some reason, and I haven't been able to get them working again. I love that I was able to sequester all of Google's real estate from all of Amazon from all of my work tabs, and so on.

  The FB container is working Ok on my side. It's not helpful tho May be try on new profile to isolate the issue.

  FB Container never stopped working fine for me. You should be able to use them again, as we do.

  That’s weird; haven’t had an issue out of nowhere. It was a little wonky when they first released it. Sync has worked great across Mac, Windows, Linux, and I-devices for me.
