Thought I'd never see the day when Firefox would match Chrome on Speedometer.

There's also a few other benchmarks got a sizable boost. https://arewefastyet.com/

I wonder how much of this is Firefox getting better and how much is Chrome getting worse...

[–] atyaz@reddthat.com 3 points 2 years ago

The graph shows chrome slowly getting better too

Lags behind on updates by a few days, which is a non negotiable for me. I use normal FF + Arkenfox User.js

I wonder how Safari compares to those in this chart.

Why is Chrome's performance so much better than Chromium?

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

Because Google throttles all it's services, including AMP, for every non-google browser.

I wonder how battery usage compares on a MacBook between these 2 and Safari.

[–] garam@lemmy.my.id 6 points 2 years ago

Safari will always win because they are optimized to the HW and only for that HW...

Same as edge.. I do have some hack on Linux, but it sacrifice js capabilities and background pages, but achieve the same as safari in Mac or Edge on Windows

Firefox in general is faster for me than Chrome in many pages

However a notable exception are web games and web based game emulators. They're a lot slower on Firefox and i get horrible sound crackling whereas on Chrome its much better. It's been like this for years with no seeming improvement.

Please open bug ticket in Mozilla Bugzilla. It will help the Firefox development further. 🎊

[–] whoami@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

even when chrome was obviously faster, and was gaining in popularity, I still used FF. It's my preferred browser, and using it along with ublock origin makes going online more hassle free. Add to that multi account containers, reader mode, and just the general ability to customize it, I really can't see myself using another browser

Yeah but is Firefox dev tools still dogshit?

[–] ThoughtGoblin@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah... they still haven't added back live editing of JS. Their new profiler doesn't provide framerate graphs anymore. Nothing like Lighthouse on offer. Gotta keep a Chrome-based browser around for any non-trivial frontend work.
