Firefox beats that particular benchmark but gets its ass handed to it in every other benchmark. Chrome also boasts about having the best performance.
I’ve run the benchmarks on my machine and Chrome’s score (as well as Gnome Web’s) is about twice that of Firefox’s. The practical performance difference on Android is night and day as well.
I’m sticking with Firefox (because Google sucks, Google’s web monopoly sucks, and the lack of addons on mobile sucks) but performance certainly isn’t the reason I do.
This is not correct.
arewefastyet.com shows very clearly that although chrome beats firefox in some benchmarks, firefox trades blows with it and is similar to or faster in others.
I’m on Linux and Android and those benchmarks show that Chrome is clearly faster. There are some benchmarks where Firefox wins, but they’re a minority. I still find it weird that the graphs have better scores at the bottom. I’m counting 12 advantages for Chrome and 5 for Firefox on my platform.
Maybe Firefox on Windows is better, but Chrome is still just better on my computer and phone.
you can just move to chromium though, getting chrome performance without google spyware
Meanwhile, in the real world, running the two side-by-side tends to spell a whole different picture.
