Chrome feels faster though. I just switched back to it after using Firefox for the last year. Chrome in my work computer felt snappier than Firefox on my comparable spec personal machine.

My concern is that soon the comparison will be "Chrome without ad block" vs "Firefox with ad block". There's no way Chrome outperforms Firefox in that scenario. Even if Chrome is faster for your unique workflow today, prepare to switch back.
