unfortunately for Firefox, performance issues are a case of death by a thousand cuts.

Here's a product that I'm working on

In Chrome it's buttery smooth on any decent computer made in the past 5 or 6 years. In Firefox it's usable on a powerful computer, but notably worse than Chrome.

On an under powered laptop Chrome is still very usable, not quite 60fps, but probably 30-40fps on moderately complex designs.

Firefox is a choppy mess on low end hardware.

This is a recurring issue with Firefox. It's just ok for regular web browsing, and it's a hot mess for any web app that needs to do any moderately taxing DOM manipulation.

As much as I love Firefox, it's just leagues behind Chrome in regard to performance.




That's a pretty niche issue though, Firefox is much faster web browsing and uses far less resources than Chrome.


Impressive app.


Thanks :)


So long as my web browser is competitive when web browsing I'm happy.
