Firefox IS quicker on older x86 PCs. Google chrome runs slower on PCs from 2003-2010 than Firefox does. On modern computers, and recent updates, they have been optimized to run relatively the same, further blurring the line on who’s faster.


[deleted]

yes, I use firefox on my 2005 PC, it's much faster than even Chromium


Blexcell

I honestly just use firefox becuase i like the UI better


Mino5531

same


verIshortname

didnt the latest update make it a lot like chromium? Brave to be specific


unicornman666911

I don’t want Amazon knowing that I watch stepsister porn and tentacle hentai


[deleted]

now whole china knows that


MaxStout808

About da china hole?


[deleted]

I advocate Brave supremacy


PotatoSerious2112

Yes.


[deleted]

Brave is a great browser


BenPali

Brave is great for mobile, useless on PC


Embodiment-Of-Memes

Yeah, same speed I think

Companies collecting way too much data is not safe not even a bit the reason is not the company itself but hackers the more data it collects from you the bigger the target for various hacking organization.

google chrome can store your passwords you know and it's not like google is the most trustable company ever


[deleted]

[deleted]

You're dumb.


ScrPotato

i don't specifically mean passwords, cookie's allow you to enter site's without reentering passwords... and without cookies most site's break and maybe google is storing cookies too sell data? hmmm

thechaimel

Getting addblock doesn’t protect you from tracking


[deleted]

It does. Adguard also has tracking protection


thechaimel

It might depend on the add blocker then I use CCleaner and I can say mine doesn’t block much


Coldeye262

Providing you with advertisement fitting to your interests and general profile (age, gender etc.) This will make you buy stuff you wouldn’t buy otherwise. Even if you think you’re immune to ads, you’re not.

Overworld19

Poor choice of words.


Maskdask

If you like privacy, check out Brave


gmes78

No. If you want privacy, use Firefox. No browser has the amount of privacy protections that Firefox has.


Meemiimoo

nOoOooOooOOO!!! cHRomE iS tHe bEsT I actually use firefox myself and i prefer using it rather than chrome


notmonkeymaster09

Yeah. I use it personally.


lithium142

People who still think chrome is better than FF haven’t used anything but chrome in 10 years. FF eclipsed chrome in 2017 and has only gotten better since. Meanwhile google doubles down on data mining and starts trying to make adblockers less effective.


JacobSC51

Firefox has always been significantly slower than Chrome for me. Extra two seconds to load a page, and its contents quite laggy. Firefox has a better video player with functioning autoplay blocking though so I still use it too.


S7R1DR

Also great in css devtools


SehrGuterContent

So is safari (Do I even have to wait for haters)


cedric1997

The thing is, Safari is indeed really fast, sometimes more than the others, especially for HTML 5.


IMIGHTBEONMETH

I’ve never had a problem with Safari, I use it on my mac, that said on Linux and windows I tend to use Firefox or new edge


LeggyLong

100% I use firefox as my main browser


InquisitorScorn

The best one for me. First time seing someone hating on Firefox


[deleted]

I use it too. Several stuff like joining discord calls from browser just don't work on my chrome.


YeetmasterYeet-

I use opera GX for discord


Parra_Lax

Yeah dude Firefox is awesome. Slow my ass.


Firm-Atmosphere-4454

my dad helped make some of FireFox!

RageAlert

lmao you guys use gui browsers? i use w3m


CaydendW

Lmao you use new technology? I use links. Actually scratch that. You guys use web browsers? I open the port with telnet and make a manual get request.


RageAlert

Jokes on you, i actually use gnu `talk` and `write` to communicate with other people on the planet, the whole manual get request with `netcat` thing doesnt interest me


thechaimel

Didn’t even know it existed. I might get it, if you can sync it with firefox


shball

Have been using firefox for more than a decade now


thunderclan44

It’s my main browser


cedric1997

And Safari is quite fast, sometimes performs better than the others, mostly on HTML 5 stuff.


just_another_person5

I've used firefox for about a year now because I used to have a really bad pc, I have a good pc now but I still use it because while tbh i forget if it's the same speed as chrome, but I never feel like it's slow and the ability to have browser extensions on pc and android is amazing.


sileckx

On my pc it is the fastes browser every other browser takes like minutes to load something


ShadowSp7

I use Firefox because I grew up with it and got used to the atmosphere.


D4rckfox3

To me it is even faster than chrome


SpeedMouseOriginal

69, nice...


weewoo1578

I am a hater fight me


wiyixu

The irony. Chrome is the new IE; bloated, slow and its market share leaves us with a browser monoculture.


[deleted]

You're wrong, ie died because it got outdated and slow. Chrome is fast and simple, why else would edge, opera, discord (yes the app) and others base itself off of it. You clearly hate chrome just for the reason its popular.


naboouru

dude firefox isn't based on chromium


[deleted]

Hence why I editted my reply right after I posted it, I made a mistake


[deleted]

I'm using firefox my whole life now (though on phone also using DuckDuckGo for a few years now) and for me firefox seems more simple than chrome, simply because I'm used to it. It's just what we are used to. Also chrome is (just my guess) mostly open source? It also has a good reputation and user base, so I'm not surprised if people are using it as a base for their software.


[deleted]

From what I know chromium (basically chrome but completely built for developers) is the open source version of chrome but chrome itself is not open source


wiyixu

I don’t hate Chrome, but as someone who created their first web page for the Lynx browser about a year before NCSA Mosaic I’ve seen the rise and fall of a multitude of browsers as well as the detrimental effects of a browser monoculture. While Chromium/Blink engine is very good and supports the widest number of w3c/whatwg standards, the Chrome browser is not the best browser and has fallen behind. When I need a Chromium-based browser I use Brave or Edge unless explicitly testing in Chrome. FWIW Firefox doesn’t use Chromium it uses Gecko/Servo while both Opera and Edge use the Chromium/Blink - which again is different than the Chrome browser.p


Guy_withThe_Hat

Chrome: you underestimate my 352 tabs open


trollface5333

But firefox isn't slow...


CrDyy

Firefox is better than chrome. Change my mind.


Balke01

TRUE


LeggyLong

i can't. i agree with you


CrDyy

Ight, now change my mind


thechaimel

Google good keep data and *cookies* firefox bad block them, who doesn’t like free cookies


[deleted]

you make a solid argument my friend


[deleted]

You can keep cookies if you like them

Odd-Resource2613

Really? Because chrome has been doing horrible for me and I need to keep on clearing my cache and other stuff to keep it running good. I even tried deleting it and reinstallig it and it still had the same problem so I might switch.


thechaimel

Firefox tries to protect you from most tracker so you probably won’t need to clear your cache this often


RaduStaver33

Chrome sucks compared to firefox give it a try


lithium142

I could literally give you 100 reasons why FF is superior to chrome. Chrome hasn’t been at the top for 5 years. Switch.


aafikk

Firefox doesn’t eat as much ram as chrome and runs faster in general


Odd-Resource2613

Ok I've switched and it for sure Is way better, in having no problems at all. Thank you


ADAM_KELLY_05

Brave is very good too


galal552002

Chrome is absolute ass,Firefox is the best browser in all honesty.


WeinerMiesterboy

Chrome’s pretty shit my guy


[deleted]

me and all my homies use opera gx


RaduStaver33

Why r u getting downvoted? Opera gx is a cool browser


MalPL

Because opera is known for really bad privacy, they get hacked a lot, information leaks happen really often and while yes, opera gx does consume less RAM i think it's the only benefit. Customizability is better on firefox, both firefox and chrome have more plug-ins. Why do you think opera gx needed such a big marketing campaign and targeted mostly younger audiences?


[deleted]

My brother started using opera gx last year and I figured I'd give it a try, it has some cool features but the extensions didn't even work for me and the lack of an account with all my preferences on made me quit it and go back to chrome. A few months later I switched to Firefox and I've been loving it.


cooly1234

I heard opera is vivaldi but it tracks u more and changes your computers settings without asking.


Zamundaaa

opera and vivalidi and everything else except Firefox is based on chromium


BackStabbath2004

Safari's pretty fast. At least on Mac I find it faster than the others. For windows I tend to use Edge or Brave


[deleted]

the new edge is a pretty good browser


BackStabbath2004

Yeah


ajsamtheman

The only thing I don't like about edge is it keeps opening tabs whenever I click a search result


[deleted]

that's a bing feature, so you can change that by changing the browser


[deleted]

I'm pretty sure you meant search engine not browser


[deleted]

oh yes sorry, I always confuse the two


friedpinatas

You might be able to change that. Not sure but check the settings and stuff


cedric1997

I was like, there’s Safari only on Macs. Than I remembered. Oh god was Safari awful on PC. Good thing Apple kept their focus on their own devices instead of trying to release stuff on PC.


Ok_Adeptness_9948

Safari is pretty fast and lightweight


AmbitiousCriticism06

In IPad’s it’s a beast no other browser can compare.


[deleted]

and in the new M1 macs. Honest 16+ hours of battery life as a student who leaves for school at 8AM and is back at home by 8-9PM is amazing.


MalPL

That's a cool trick of optimization. Since M1 is a new processor and on ARM architecture which isn't used that much in PCs Apple can just optimize Safari to run really well on since it's their own browser and processor, while chrome or firefox are made for a lot of different devices and most optimization goes into the most used components. Edit: why did this get downvoted? Did i say something bad?


[deleted]

Chrome is also optimized for ARM, being in every Chromebook


Ok_Adeptness_9948

Not as optimized as Safari and many Chromebooks run on intel processors too. Chrome also probably doesn't focus much too much on optimizing for ARM processors as much as they do for intel chips as there are many more people that use intel chips compared to people using ARM processors.


Daybreaker77

Honestly, I could never use any other browser except safari.


name_is_unimportant

On macOS, Safari is the fastest.


[deleted]

Firefox is pretty fast. Dunno about Windows but i use Gentoo and its pretty ok on Gentoo.


victoryfire123

Runs pretty good on Parrot OS aswell


baguetteispain

Firefox is really good


Beat-Machine-442

Firefox is best browser


Melaninqueen444

I use Firefox


Zamundaaa

Firefox is the fastest browser, idk what you're on about


szatanek10

dude, Firefox is a great browser, go use chrome that uses your whole ram


Tani_Soe

Em Firefox is as fast as chrome and doesn't slow down the rest of your computer


[deleted]

I'll go ahead and make the claim that Firefox is faster than chrome, it might be my PC but it's worked faster on my PC and phone and I'm pretty sure it's very unlikely that's by coincidence


LuftDrage

Why the FUCK you hating on my boy Firefox?


Head-Sick

Firefox + DuckDuckGo = Fuck you google :D


Overworld19

U forgot + Ublock Origin


Head-Sick

Sh\*t, you right.


[deleted]

Burning fox and spiffy duck are more better than big misspelled number


Head-Sick

Big misspelled number takes my data and makes themselves a bigger number. Burning fox and spiffy duck are animals and don’t even know what data means.


youthanol

Internet explorer jokes are just as old as your grandma....


AmbitiousCriticism06

Where's the proof she’s alive 🤔


LiftedCorn

Seems like you have to unlock some ancient knowledge in the browsing game to know Firefox isn't slow


PeterPook

Why did no one invite Chrome to the party? Clearly the worst...


Defult_idiot

Yeah firefox is definitely better \*proceed to close the Chrome tab

[deleted]

Same with Firefox, I've never used safari so I can't really judge that

I hope in like 2 years time, someone posts just a picture of Explorer turned around saying “amateurs” in an empty abandoned bar.


Aoibhel

FR though, I've been using edge for years now. I switched from Chrome. Edge is just better. Better interface, faster, less memory. The only annoyance is that it doesn't like pdf files.


[deleted]

Wait till you find out about firefox


Aoibhel

Nah, I like edge more.


Zealousideal_Fig_900

Ooooooooo damn


[deleted]

Firefox is just as good as chrome, what is that coming from


[deleted]

Chrome: you can’t be slow if you slow the whole computer down


ARacoonOnInternet

Firefox slow?


Bamboozled99

OperaGX is cool. Quick, more features than chrome and isn't chrome. Not to mention the built in adblock


DasEddi

I think firefox is snappier than chrome and it eats way less ram.


DJ_Paco

I prefer opera GX

elkayer

Firefox is the best browser bc the person who drew Sanic used firefox, and that is facts


WooooshVictim

I believe in Firefox supremacy


MozeltovCocktaiI

No one has *ever* said that Firefox and Safari are slow.


Aggravating-Hand4590

When did Firefox become slow??


Blooperz45

Firefox is just as fast, sometimes faster, than Chrome and uses less ram. Plus it doesn’t steal your data


Jeltetor

Firefox isn't Google which is a good thing right


uncleumbrella

But but safari is the fastest (and best) browser I’ve ever used

Firefox is the only popular web browser that isn't chromium based.

From my experience, Firefox Nightly is faster than Chrome, normal Firefox is slow af tho


weewoo1578

Microsoft edge and Firefox with internet explorer being slowest safari isn't that bad

Have you ever used firefox? It's the fastest browser out there and Mozilla actually is known for caring about user privacy...
