Firefox tracks their performance across many different benchmarks. Here is the performance vs Chrome over the past year on many different ones. It is encouraging to see steady improvements being made on a substantial number of them over time.

- yborg 3y agoIt appears that Chrome still wins most of these. Even the touted Speedometer win has apparently been trumped by Chrome over the last couple of weeks. The competition doesn't stand still. Which is good, imagine if Firefox threw in the towel, Chrome would become IE 6 in short order.
- nwienert 3y agoSafari is faster than either across almost all dimensions, lighter on battery, nicer UI, better standards support generally than FF and even matches chrome for what I care about. It’s the clear best browser imo.
- pmontra 3y agoI can run Chrome and Firefox on my Debian laptop and on my Android devices. How do I benchmark Safari there? I can't, so Safari is barely relevant to me. Nice to know that it's faster than the other two browsers on Macs, but I'm not very surprised. Apple should be able to integrate it with their hardware and OS more than Google and Mozilla.
- isaacremuant 3y agoCustomization and freedom means Firefox is always the best for me. How's the safari world of add-on's? Do you have tab containers? What about mobile? Can you block ads?
- NicoJuicy 3y agoOn Mac? Probably because only Safari has access to the private api's
- saagarjha 3y agoGenerally, no.
- zuhsetaqi 3y agoJust compare the results from Windows and macOS.
- NicoJuicy 3y agoLol... Doesn't make any sense No safari on Windows. And I don't have a Mac.
- zuhsetaqi 3y agoIt sure does. Did you even open OPs link? There you can compare everything. And no need for Safari on Windows since you can compare Firefox on Windows (where those 'private api's' are not protected by Apple) with Safari on macOS
- mtlmtlmtlmtl 3y agoSafari is only well maintained on MacOS and iOS. That makes it a non-starter for most people.
- Retric 3y agoMore than half of US users run iOS or MacOS on one or more of their devices.
- mtlmtlmtlmtl 3y agoLess than 5% of people live in the US. Not sure how your statement is relevant to my statement about most people in general.
- Retric 3y agoWhich is irrelevant if 95+% of your users are coming from the US… Unless you’re equally interested in non English speaking users then the global average is absolutely meaningless. What matters to organizations is some subset of everyone and what their specific access looks like.
- mtlmtlmtlmtl 3y agoWe're talking about web browsers. Pretty much everyone with a personal computer(including smartphones) needs one. The US makes no sense as a subset here. If we were discussing what markets for a company to target, then sure. But we're not, are we?
- Retric 3y agoI and many people here abandoned Chrome, so it’s only relevant to me from a software development perspective. In terms of software development a US specific audience isn’t uncommon. Local utilities and many government agencies etc just don’t care about foreign users.

- elcritch 3y agoIn general I’ve preferred Firefox’s lower memory usage than pure speed.
