I just tried firefox because of this update but I had to switch back because it's so slow. Sacrificing competitive advantage stings too much to much just for this.

Interesting, I also just installed Firefox because of OPs comment, and I'm amazed at how much faster it is then Chrome.

    I've been satisfied with Firefox speed for several years, ever since Chrome manifest version 3 crap started to become reality.

    I keep many browsers on my laptop and use whichever one I must for in-compatibility reasons and primarily Firefox which makes me generally a happy camper. Mac os.

    Mobile is different.

    For me it depends on open tabs: with modern firefox 4 digit number of open tabs on a 64GB machine is no problem. Chromium crawls to a halt at low 3 digits.

    I’ve run across several websites that won’t load in Safari but work great in Chrome.

    One of them is my router.

Yeah, it's not Firefox that is slow, it is Google properties that are slow on Firefox. Otherwise FF is fast, or at least Chrome is just as slow or slower (judging by seeing others use it).

I mostly avoid Google websites, but when I can't, I always use Brave/Edge/Chromium on those. E.g. Google Earth is especially useless outside of Chrome-land.

Firefox (with uBO) also probably wins any realistic speed comparison simply because it still supports MV2. I really don't care how fast the ads are loaded, I prefer blocking them. Especially the most privacy invading ones (i.e. by Google).
