chrome is only faster if you account for all the tricks, like ultra-aggressive pre-loading of links and using their own DNS instead. With those two things off it is slower today.

Also, most google properties were caught red handed slowing down on firefox, like meet and youtube.

I use Firefox because they don't threaten to shut down power user extensions every few years. I find it faster and more reliable because it doesn't chew all of my RAM and lead to swap / early-oom-kill.

I'm quite confused by folks' opinion of Firefox in this thread because my only problem with it is that maybe once per year (or less) I find an online checkout that is subtly broken in it (sometimes it's just my adblocker). But I have occasionally found sites that are inverse, only working in Firefox.
