Dang, I liked chrome - ff felt bloated and I could never get into safari. Anything else I could try?
I felt similarly until I reinstalled Firefox a few months back because of this. It's actually gotten a lot better imo. I won't be going back to Chrome in any case.
Firefox is faster than Chrome as of the latest builds.
Never had any issues with speed of any browser, so I don't really get that - bloated mostly in the the sense of UI. But it's also been I think some years since I tried, maybe it's time to try it out again.
Bloated is a weird nebulous term. Chrome is bloated because of telemetry. Bloat generally means things in the software that are not needy.
I think clunky is the term you're looking for. I cannot think of what it has in the UI that isn't needed.
It's a complete subjective feeling, I switched to chrome because it felt lighter and was easier to synch over several devices. Just checked FF out and it looks very different to the last time I saw it, so I will try it.
