Just stumbled upon this project, seems rather new as my DNS blocked its domain by default for being too new hehe.. Anyone had a chance to try it yet? Its got some hefty promises, like having equally strong privacy features as Librewolf. I'll be giving it ago at least, almost sounds a bit too good to be true...

This is from 4 years ago,. Again, stock browser without a busted extension causing a memory leak, the browser runs solid.

Run a real world test and you'll see what I mean. Their RAM consumption is pretty much on par, and varies between update cycles but not wildly.

From 3 months ago, with graphs. Firefox and Chrome have had near identical performance for years.
