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/

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 Safari compares to those in this chart.

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

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

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. 🎊
