I just browse text based websites. To me the browser performance doesn't really matter at all.
Does it support pwa? Does it allow to block ads and harmful content? That's important to me.
Yeah, couldn't care less if Chrome is faster when it is controlled by Google and actively working against extensions.
Not to mention we crossed a performance line maybe 10 years ago where browser engines on modern processors are basically trivial. Once we started having 8+ threads and the browsers got smart enough to leverage them, I'd bet bandwidth (or memory if you have many tabs), is a way more typical bottleneck.
That certain Chromium-based lion browser that'd get me cancelled does that.
another thing to point out is that while it is faster you can't block as much as shit as you do with ff + ub which makes everything load faster or not even load at all.
Vanadium is much faster than ff and blocks roughly the same things. I still use ff :( (i know this is linux but I don't use any chromium browsers on linux and my wifi card is so old I can't say anything about browser speed)
