Thought I'd never see the day when Firefox would match Chrome on Speedometer.

There's also a few other benchmarks got a sizable boost. https://arewefastyet.com/

Probably desktop. Or desktop and android. Remember that iOS locked down the browser years ago and require any third parties to run on safari’s bones.

Chrome and Firefox are building iOS browsers that do not require the apple WebKit. Everyone, including apple, expect apple to drop that requirement soon to help avoid antitrust issues.

I'm surprised it took this long.

That’s quite good to hear, do you have any further reading that you know of?

Definitely not Android. Firefox is unfortunately quite a bit slower than Chrome based browsers. I still use it as I don't really do much on my phone, but I hope they can optimize it further.
