yet firefox doesn't give a sh!t about webp images. WTF firefox?
weird!
My experience so far - I don't get all the hoopla over security vs Google - you are still opting to give your info to them + SalesForce + data on places you log into. It isn't like really secure, it is just shifting your data to a new company. It is faster on pre-load but many sites then lag, so you get to the line faster, but are likely still waiting. It seems to be using a lot of memory w only PH open and got my macbook fan going w 80+% of the CPU. 1 site open. This one.
With the same two sites open (PH + Twitter) on Chrome, Safari 11, Quantum: Safari used the most amount of memory, but the least amount of energy. Chrome highest energy. Quantum the highest CPU usage.
OMG, I switched Chrome to Opera It Seems Like Opera is Great at many things I think Mozilla Should Learn from Opera of course Speed Matters But that one thing doesn't matter with Opera's Stand Alone Features Like opt-out video Player, Inbuilt Messager,etc.I Hate This
Pretty impressive the work Firefox has done here - love the UX/UI overhaul, and the speed is _very_ apparent. I think it's important not to just measure on RAM/CPU usage but overhaul end-user responsiveness - after using this for the last few days it's incredibly apparent how fast Firefox Quantum is at a) loading pages and b) always being performant in the UI. Big fan!

I don't know how but it's really fast

I've been playing with Nightly on and off for the past 6 months and I switched to Firefox Developer Edition as my daily driver whenever it switched over to using the new engine (~2 months ago) just to "try it out".

Two months later and I'm still "trying it out"! It's really that good. It is just a slight but very noticible speed increase and knowing that I'm not giving google allll my data without a bit of a struggle that makes me strongly reccomend it to anyone who will listen.

Pros:

Memory Usage, Privacy, Speed, UI

Cons:

Very rare render bugs.

Biggest reason to use Chrome is not only speed. It is also about user experience. Days when You have to keep changing the browsers for different things have gone. It doesn’t matter if I change my devices or get new. One single google sign in get my all data there. Even though I believe every product has its market. Firefox will also but they are too late for the competition.
it's fast
I moved from Firefox (after 10 years of using it) to Chrome. Chrome to Opera. Opera to Safari. Now, two years later I'm back on Firefox 🤘
Not sure if it is worth switching completely, but I'll give it a shot as my backup browser.
