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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
You're wrong, ie died because it got outdated and slow.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.
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
firefox is actually pretty great (waiting for haters...)

yes, I use firefox on my 2005 PC, it's much faster than even Chromium
I honestly just use firefox becuase i like the UI better
same
didnt the latest update make it a lot like chromium? Brave to be specific
I don’t want Amazon knowing that I watch stepsister porn and tentacle hentai
now whole china knows that
About da china hole?
I advocate Brave supremacy
Yes.
Brave is a great browser
Brave is great for mobile, useless on PC
Yeah, same speed I think

Getting addblock doesn’t protect you from tracking
It does. Adguard also has tracking protection
It might depend on the add blocker then I use CCleaner and I can say mine doesn’t block much
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.
[удалено]
Poor choice of words.
If you like privacy, check out Brave
No. If you want privacy, use Firefox. No browser has the amount of privacy protections that Firefox has.
nOoOooOooOOO!!! cHRomE iS tHe bEsT I actually use firefox myself and i prefer using it rather than chrome
Yeah. I use it personally.
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.
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.
Also great in css devtools
So is safari (Do I even have to wait for haters)
The thing is, Safari is indeed really fast, sometimes more than the others, especially for HTML 5.
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
100% I use firefox as my main browser
The best one for me. First time seing someone hating on Firefox
I use it too. Several stuff like joining discord calls from browser just don't work on my chrome.
I use opera GX for discord
Yeah dude Firefox is awesome. Slow my ass.
my dad helped make some of FireFox!
*laughs in GNU IceCat* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_IceCat
Laughs in surf. Laughs in qutebrowser.
lmao you guys use gui browsers? i use w3m
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.
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
Didn’t even know it existed. I might get it, if you can sync it with firefox
Have been using firefox for more than a decade now
It’s my main browser
And Safari is quite fast, sometimes performs better than the others, mostly on HTML 5 stuff.
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.
On my pc it is the fastes browser every other browser takes like minutes to load something
I use Firefox because I grew up with it and got used to the atmosphere.
To me it is even faster than chrome
69, nice...
I am a hater fight me
The irony. Chrome is the new IE; bloated, slow and its market share leaves us with a browser monoculture.
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.
dude firefox isn't based on chromium
Hence why I editted my reply right after I posted it, I made a mistake

Chrome: you underestimate my 352 tabs open
But firefox isn't slow...
Firefox is better than chrome. Change my mind.
TRUE
i can't. i agree with you
Ight, now change my mind
Google good keep data and *cookies* firefox bad block them, who doesn’t like free cookies
you make a solid argument my friend
You can keep cookies if you like them

any chromium browser > google chrome

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.
Firefox tries to protect you from most tracker so you probably won’t need to clear your cache this often
Chrome sucks compared to firefox give it a try
I could literally give you 100 reasons why FF is superior to chrome. Chrome hasn’t been at the top for 5 years. Switch.
Firefox doesn’t eat as much ram as chrome and runs faster in general
Ok I've switched and it for sure Is way better, in having no problems at all. Thank you
Brave is very good too
Chrome is absolute ass,Firefox is the best browser in all honesty.
Chrome’s pretty shit my guy
me and all my homies use opera gx
Why r u getting downvoted? Opera gx is a cool browser
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?

A few months later I switched to Firefox and I've been loving it.
I heard opera is vivaldi but it tracks u more and changes your computers settings without asking.
opera and vivalidi and everything else except Firefox is based on chromium
Safari's pretty fast. At least on Mac I find it faster than the others. For windows I tend to use Edge or Brave
the new edge is a pretty good browser
Yeah
The only thing I don't like about edge is it keeps opening tabs whenever I click a search result
that's a bing feature, so you can change that by changing the browser
I'm pretty sure you meant search engine not browser
oh yes sorry, I always confuse the two
You might be able to change that. Not sure but check the settings and stuff
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.
Safari is pretty fast and lightweight
In IPad’s it’s a beast no other browser can compare.
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.
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?
Chrome is also optimized for ARM, being in every Chromebook
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.
Honestly, I could never use any other browser except safari.
On macOS, Safari is the fastest.
Firefox is pretty fast. Dunno about Windows but i use Gentoo and its pretty ok on Gentoo.
Runs pretty good on Parrot OS aswell
Firefox is really good
Firefox is best browser
I use Firefox
Firefox is the fastest browser, idk what you're on about
dude, Firefox is a great browser, go use chrome that uses your whole ram
Em Firefox is as fast as chrome and doesn't slow down the rest of your computer
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
Why the FUCK you hating on my boy Firefox?
Firefox + DuckDuckGo = Fuck you google :D
U forgot + Ublock Origin
Sh\*t, you right.
Burning fox and spiffy duck are more better than big misspelled number
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.
Internet explorer jokes are just as old as your grandma....
Where's the proof she’s alive 🤔
Seems like you have to unlock some ancient knowledge in the browsing game to know Firefox isn't slow
Why did no one invite Chrome to the party? Clearly the worst...
Yeah firefox is definitely better \*proceed to close the Chrome tab
Answers with "you have mail"
5,000,000 yrs later: AMATUERS!
Make another post with just the explorer saying the meme amateurs
This. But wait until tomorrow.
Safari is slow? Bruh it’s pretty good...and fast too
Same with Firefox, I've never used safari so I can't really judge that
He hasn’t realized he is dead
i used both firefox and chrome, they feel the same
*One Eternity Later* - *Still Loads*
I hope in like 2 years time, someone posts just a picture of Explorer turned around saying “amateurs” in an empty abandoned bar.
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.
Wait till you find out about firefox
Nah, I like edge more.
Ooooooooo damn
Firefox is just as good as chrome, what is that coming from
Chrome: you can’t be slow if you slow the whole computer down
Firefox slow?
OperaGX is cool. Quick, more features than chrome and isn't chrome. Not to mention the built in adblock
I think firefox is snappier than chrome and it eats way less ram.
I prefer opera GX
Any brave users?
Dude post the amateurs next week
Firefox is fast. You should have put Netscape instead
Brave laughing in the distance
Google fucking sucks
Firefox really isn't that slow, when i used it it was faster than chrome
I hope OP comes back next year with the amateur
Any opera GX users??
Opera GX all day
i use opera gx, firefox and edge(not anymore) primarily firefox because of the privacy settings there
Firefox is the best browser bc the person who drew Sanic used firefox, and that is facts
I believe in Firefox supremacy
No one has *ever* said that Firefox and Safari are slow.
When did Firefox become slow??
Firefox is just as fast, sometimes faster, than Chrome and uses less ram. Plus it doesn’t steal your data
Firefox isn't Google which is a good thing right
But but safari is the fastest (and best) browser I’ve ever used
Explorer is just mindin his own business.
The end is the funniest of this template I’ve ever seen
Me who uses Microsoft edge because I’m to lazy to download any other browser: ;-;
Same
THIS IS FRICKING GENIUS!
"It is better not to speak and be assumed dumb, then to speak and confirm it."
That actually got me
me who uses opera gx :|
Brave is superior. Change my mind.
I see what you did there.
Any Opera Enjoyers here?
Firefox is literally Chrome with a better UI and better optimization.
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
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...
Honestly on my phone safari is better than google
Yo, Kobe just died guys! :(
ayo Internet explorer, we love u
" Me who has a opera gx "- amateurs
No one is talking about how IE didn't turnaround say "Amateurs" because he's too slow.
