As much as I loved firefox in the early days - i find it so slow compared to just about all the chrominum based offshoots ive tried. And UX wise - its just confusing to see things change constantly.
I've never really understood the whole obsession with browser speed....
I mean so what if one browser loads a page in 10 seconds and this one takes 11 seconds. There's no real difference.
It's slower because no one cares about web standards anymore, websites are just optimized for Chromium nowadays.
By "optimized", I assume you mean overloaded with tons of crap, ads, spy-features but somewhat running less slow on Chrome?
Cabt say I have noticed a difference in the last 5 years. They seem about the same to me.
Yeah I wished there was an option to not use their new look... I've just had the up dated look on android and honestly don't like it. I'll get tmuse to it but you know it's just a question of time.
