Firefox 95 vs. Chrome 97 Browser Performance on Linux

  I wonder how they currently compare regarding battery life. Neither have ever been anything to write home about regarding battery life but my passed experience has been Firefox is much worse than Chrome across macOS, Windows, Linux and Android.

    And even efficiency of Chrome is somewhat pedestrian relative to that of Safari and pre-Blink Edge. Neither Google nor Mozilla seem to prioritize battery friendliness to the extent that Apple does and formerly Microsoft did. It would be interesting to see how GNOME Web/Epiphany stacks up in that category given that it’s the closest relative to Safari on non-Apple platforms.

      On Windows I find the blink based Edge to still be worlds ahead of Chrome as far as battery friendliness.

  How is the privacy benchmark going? Firefox is plenty fast for me and my data is not shared with Google when I use the web. That's worth so much more to me than winning in synthetic benchmarks.

  Assuming this is easy to run in the PTS like most others, does anyone know if it's using the system browsers... or some bundled in? I have a moderately customized build of Firefox that this has me interested in testing... (compiler options, mostly)

    Hi! I'm curious what options did you tweak? Also, what prompted/motivated it?

      Hey there! The most interesting one is the architecture optimization presets (eg: -march=native) In my case, I wanted to try to see if any benefit was noted with the znver2 optimizations for my Ryzen-based system
