Firefox is a much more performant browser for actually rendering heavy pages.

I have 18 windows open in Firefox vs chromium that say otherwise. Why would I lie lol.

Chrome has a more responsive UI, but as for actually rendering and laying out pages, Firefox is usually much faster.

I've actually checked with both browsers open side-by-side while developing my own webapps.

What's worse, Chrome is super buggy and will often randomly crash on complex CSS or too many table rows, etc.

That's great, I'll tell Firefox that,maybe it will pep up.

And what about memory requirements? Also there are no addons in mobile Chrome!! Big issue for me.

I have 64GB of RAM because I know the workload is memory hungry. But still, I have enough left over: https://imgur.com/a/Q25P7vJ
