I think its OSX and Windows people talking past each other.
On a Mac, Firefox is pale in comparison to Safari.
- zamadatix 3y agoFor a long time it was absolutely awful on Android as well. Not sure about Android, but at least on macOS Firefox has about identical performance as of this year now. They did a lot of work, some macOS specific, in recent times. That said your average person isn't trying out every browser multiple times per year to see how fast it is today.

- luuurker 3y agoPut yourself in the shoes of someone that wants a more polished experience and a longer battery life and you'd be asking "How does that help when the UI is a mix of old and new UIs and it drains battery twice as fast as Safari?" I don't use Safari because of the extensions and overall it's too basic for me, but not everyone is like you or me.
