When was the last time you checked/researched whether or not chrome is faster?

My 'synthetic benchmark' right now is FF with a few hundred tabs open in front of me. It works like a charm.

What do you have, like 32G of RAM, 16 cores, app running from an SSD, Gb network, etc.. :oP

ABP, umatrix, 16G, spinning rust, first gen i7. FF does take about 10G right now (Linux), so it is not exactly super efficient but given the amount of windows and tabs open I really can't complain.

If you run an adblocker, you don't need any of that.

I remember reading [0] the opposite on here, though I don't know myself if it's true.

Anecdotally I get the tab opening/closing lag often in Chrome, but not Firefox

While actually many versions before, like 58 or some, Firefox has released a impressive update that brought a entirely new way to play many tabs. Their experiment is that they can open over a thousand tabs in several seconds.
