I really wish I could agree.

On a core i7 with 16GB and a completely fresh Windows 10 install that has never had Firefox on it (so we can't blame an old profile on the machine), Firefox with a single plugin (Keefox) is noticeably slower than Chrome. Just logging into my Google account I saw surprising amounts of basic UI stuttering. Something like Inbox (which is admittedly a pig) loads slowly and scrolls sluggishly.

Chrome, by comparison, is responsive and snappy.

I wish it were different. I really want to like Firefox, but on this machine, with some very basic tests it's clear that, for me, it simply does not compare...

Some legacy addons are poorly written. Have you tried a fresh Firefox profile with only uBlock Origin on it?
