The author may be a right-wing fellow. Nonetheless, the data he exposes are taken from official Mozilla docs.

    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.

        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.

      Chrome also boasts about having the best performance.

      Meanwhile, in the real world, running the two side-by-side tends to spell a whole different picture.
