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/

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

[-] IrrelevantBoB@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

I did not know about this option, I will investigate. Thanks for sharing

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

I wonder how Safari compares to those in this chart.

[-] gargantuanprism@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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.

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. 🎊

I stopped using Firefox because it had issues playing videos. I also ran into a number of web sites that were displayed badly.

[-] garam@lemmy.my.id 5 points 2 years ago

I don't think site displayed badly is Mozilla problem, because there are web standard. If they don't follow the standard, it won't even show on anything I suppose, even chrome. But if in chrome it displayed neatly, then you need to ask to yourself, does that a website, or chromiumsite
