“Firefox got faster for real users…” why include “real”? Are there fake users? Just strange phrasing.
- mcpherrinm 3y agoI think they're distinguishing from synthetic benchmarks
- sojsurf 3y agoPerhaps as opposed to "Firefox got faster in the benchmarks", which do not always correlate to how normal users use the web.
