Would love to use Firefox if it wasn't so slow
Hope more developers give special support to the gecko engine
Firefox really isn't slow.
Especially when its blocking all the ad bloat that chrome runs on... What in the fuck are these people smoking?
I'm not sure how recently you've used it but I actually find chrome to be much more resource hungry. Maybe it's worth a try again if you haven't?
lol Firefox + adblock beat Chrome any day.
Have you seen the recent benchmarks where Firefox surpassed Chrome? Sure, they may not reflect actual use cases, but it shows that there isn't much of a speed difference.
Firefox isn't slow, you just want an excuse.
