Comparing Browser Page Load Time: An Introduction to Methodology

Great work. But, I wonder if is this is just a case of different browsers focusing on different metrics? Chrome seems to have shifted its focus on paint timing metrics [1], while Mozilla is optimizing load timing metrics.

Personally, I feel optimizing both metrics are important. It would be nice if this study had also published a comparison of paint timing metrics.

I can severely recommend Firefox with the tracking protection. It's quite a refreshing experience compared to Chrome.
