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/

Sadly I don't see it happening in Linux yet 😢

Yeah linux performance right now is poorer wrt Windows, you can compare the Windows benchmarks with Linux ones

EDIT: Does anyone know why there's that spike for most of the benchmarks starting February 8th/10th? Seems like it affected both Chrome/Chromium and Firefox, although in some cases FF seems to have been hit the most. A Kernel update maybe? Some syscall changed?

Could be a readjustment in the metrics. They fix test and measurement errors from time to time and it often looks like a spike. They attach notes to the data points sometimes. Maybe clicking one of them during that time will shed some light.

My guess is a change in hardware.
