Has Chrome fully taken over yet?

Firefox is not on par in terms of performance at all, at least on the Mac. I use it at home and at work but it just uses too much CPU for me to recommend it to anyone.

I keep wanting to use Firefox on Mac, but the CPU issues cause constant fan churn.

I end up having to stick with Safari as my resistance browser. (Which isn't so bad, actually. I feel like Safari is pretty underrated in these discussions.)

I appreciate I'm a single data point and it's not scientific but with the same "typical" session open, the idle stats spread across all processes, on MBP2017:

  Chrome (v70): ~10% CPU
  FF (v63): ~7% CPU

For me the problem with Firefox on Mac are random CPU spikes, the average idle usage is OK. Or some tab getting stuck and skyrocketing to 100% CPU, killing 10% of my battery if I don’t notice it in time.

If you check on Bugzilla, there are many bug reports about it.

When's the last time you used firefox? The latest updates have made big strides in performance.
