Firefox Got Faster for Real Users in 2023

  Really, the fact that they still have working adblockers makes it faster. Sitting through a minute of ads is way more noticable than a second or two of delay.

  And the reason they work still is because they empower the users to use it how they want, instead of how corporate can monetize them.

    than a second or two of delay.

    The differences between Chromium And Gecko are for years now in the range of milliseconds.

  I thought the browser, my computer or something was slowing down. Turns out I just had way too many ublock rules.

  Rendering was never a problem with FF, but it’s good to see some progress on that front as well. Startup times are still atrocious. My whole OS can book 4 times over before Firefox decides it’s the right time to start rendering something.

    Opens just as quickly as any other program for me.

    Either your boot time is like 0.05 seconds or you have a problem.

      I for sure have a problem. But it basically boils down to remove your profile, which is not an option. I did report the issue number of times and always got “do a refresh”, which I always do and it always doesn’t help. Even made a video for them, since it doesn’t sound believable. This is on my X1 Carbon, which has M.2 drive.

    Damn, what are you using, WinME?

      Nope, Debian Testing on machine with 12 cores and 32GB of RAM and 3GB/s M.2 drive.

      And my systemd-analyze says graphical.target reached after 5.690s in userspace.

  Firefox is faster at loading webpages and content than Chrome, and thats without adblockers. The only thing Chrome is good at is being a webapp and spyware platform.

    And web based serial connections, though that may fall into the web app category.

  I felt this. Last year I pretty much avoided firefox because it just wasnt performant enough, but since this year they’ve really improved things.
