I've found the opposite, especially for development. I use ff 99% of the time and it's slower and crashier than Chrome by an order of magnitude at least. Using ff because Google is evil, and suffering for it. (Arch Linux, sway, 5yo Thinkpad)

I have somewhat similar experiences. FF is the worst of the browsers I use in terms of feel (I don’t want to say it’s slower necessarily because I don’t actually time things, and I assume if a browser is smarter about what it loads first and how, it could feel better even if it’s technically slower), while Safari and Chromium based browsers a feel much more responsive. Generally I’m using Brave but also have to use Chrome for work.

It's more than just load, it's all the little hangs. Especially with devtools open. Also unlike Chrome, one tab can crash every window, which can happen to me daily.

Edit: I suppose that's what you meant by "responsive"
