Ask HN: Which browser consumes less CPU for day to day use, Chromium or Firefox?

I'm on linux with a powerful GPU, if that matters. I noticed that I spend quite some time every day finding and killing tabs that hit the CPU. It's becoming a distraction to my actual productive work: I'm dual tasking. The fans tell me when there's one tab stuck. It's very often the case. Why is the web so complex that so many sites need so much CPU/GPU power? What can you do about it, other than navigating with JS off?

chromium, https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Firefox-...

faster in most if not all benchmarks, therefore will require much less power for your day to day tasks

chrome is a nightmare. Let's just accept the fact. Move on.

mmmmh... links? lynx? netsurf?

(sarcasm)

Opera FTW
