Lookup any online benchmarks, Chrome outperforms Firefox in most cases.

A lot of sites are dropping support as well.

Until you recognize that ad-blocking works properly and will continue to work properly in Firefox.

I don't care if the site renders renders even 5000x faster if it's not making an actual impact on usage, or if it becomes unreadable due to ad's.

And how long do you think Mozilla can sustain the worlds largest ad blocker as all competing browsers progress?

Firefox has grown support for Manifest V3 in addition to keep the blocking web request API from Manifest V2. What do you mean? Firefox is progressing with the all the other competing browsers.

I note that Chrome's progress with the switch to Manifest v3 is now on hold.

"is a bit slower than Chrome if you do not take into account ad blocking" is would be much better claim than "every feature except a modern functioning browser"

Safari outperforms both on watts-consumed-per-browsing-hour, which I personally care about a whole lot more than how quickly it can complete benchmarking tasks, and yet I'd not claim Chrome or FF aren't "modern functioning browser[s]".

I am not convinced you know what the word "functioning" means given that your main complaint is about speed.

Irrelevant FUD in reality. Firefox does everything I want, and the others don't. I'm currently running this Linux box at 800Mhz this week (for unrelated reasons) and everything works fine.

One single exception: Facebook.com runs slow as dirt. That is due to the very complex extension (FBPurity) I use on it to remove the ads and other trash from that site.
