Chrome 80 Is 30% Slower Than Chrome 75

Re:Chrome 80 Is 30% Slower Than Chrome 75 by hastes on Friday February 07, 2020 @12:04PM (#22268065)

Been on Firefox since Quantum came out and I have to say I don't miss Chrome one bit. The only honest to god thing that I wish Firefox had was the rounded edges of the top bar design like Chrome..

Devtools are great, performance is great, battery life on MacBook 16in is great, Nightly is awesome (has its ups and downs).

I honestly only ever use Chrome to double-check if my CSS styling is cross-browser. Although I have been using Edge a lot more for this use case, because I can't stand Google.

Hah, part of my happiness in my return to using Firefox more as my daily driver lately has been the square tabs. Rounded tabs and tabs that shrink way too much turned out to be my big reasons I disliked the Edge to Edgmium "upgrade".

I wish Firefox would enable the SharedArrayBuffer, multi-threaded performance just gets destroyed by postMessage. Transferable helps but only works in situations where both threads dont need the object at the same time.

And a proper DataView implementation. Currently, DataView is around 40 times slower in Firefox than in Chrome.

There ought to be a setup guide that suggests ways to customize style and other things when you first install Firefox

You're welcome :-)

You have to enable it manually nowadays, but it opens up a ton of possibilities - you can theme virtually everything (find out which elements to theme using the browser toolbox).

One great thing that Chrome has over Firefox is live translation, you can go on any live chat, right click -> translate to English and then the incoming text will be translated on the spot.

That's a powerful machine most users don't have, you are less likely to notice the difference than most.
