⚡ Firefox has outperformed Google Chrome in terms of speed in a recent assessment by Speedometer, a tool that measures a browser's web app responsiveness. This challenges the perception of Firefox as a slower browser.

@alternativeto I use both on MacOS Ventura and Firefox just absolutely eats memory compared to Chrome.

@alternativeto totally accurate. Yes. Firefox is noticeably faster than chromium based browsers, and the speed boost is even greater on low-end hardware

@alternativeto I've personally noticed quick looping gifs like ​​ look much smoother on firefox.

Better don’t make a fuss over this, it can backfire hard:

»Some people may have noticed recently that #Firefox looks to be outperforming Chrome, but these are automated tests on ancient CI machines, for Tiger Lake/Zen3+ CPUs it's a completely different story.«

In other words, on machines people can actually afford it performs better.

@alternativeto Yeah, screw privacy, security and all that nonsense!
Make the render engine render insane megabytes of useless dynamically injected error-prone JavaScript and malformed HTML fast.

Spoiler: There is no performance difference in well-formed static HTML pages, but we got totally used to this dynamic shit.
Have a look and the JavaScript console and cry.

@alternativeto I didn't realize how slow Genesys' web app was on Firefox til I used Edge again at work, but on a whole it never seems to really be slow at all. Frustrating how some websites almost seem keyed to Chrome for performance in a weird, weird way

Edit: in other words, use Firefox more, put pressure back on developers to quit using certain properties of Chrome's engine for fake speed.

@KayOhtie @alternativeto I'm not sure how weird it is when you consider that virtually every browser other than Firefox is a skin over Chromium.
Show threadAnnieJul 28, 2023
@alternativeto Nice. I remember when I switched Chrome was definitely faster... at first. It bogged down to a ridiculous degree and after a couple hours Firefox was substantially faster.

@pafurijaz I've used Firefox since the beginning . And happy since . Benchmark are telling a story, but my perception was always that Firefox was always faster for me.

@alternativeto nope... #Firefox is a slow and heavy browser...
