When's the last time you used it? I just did a comparison against Chrome on multiple different websites, and besides Googles own sites they were essentially equal. Even if it were slightly slower, I'd still use it over any other option since I have full fat ublock origin installed on it.
I use it every day to browse Kbin, the only extension I have is Greasemonkey with KES and Redirect Amp to HTML scripts. My adblocking is done via NextDNS for a system wide blocking. For everything else I use Samsung Internet, and now I'm trying out Vivaldi, and the difference is astounding. Firefox takes at least 10 seconds to start loading any page, it lags to a halt when scrolling and it constantly thinks I'm trying to pull to refresh (yes I know it can be disabled).
I don't know what to tell you, then. I don't have any of those issues now. It's been probably a good two years since I've had loading speed issues, never had the scrolling issues, and only had issues with the pull refresh when it first launched in Nightly.
