Firefox 68 vs. Chrome 76 Linux Web Browser Performance Benchmarks

[Guest]

Possible at some day run benchmark for more Linux browser? Open and proprietary like Opera, Vivaldi, Yandex, Brave, Epiphany, Midori, Falkon, Otter-browser and etc?

Plenty of these are just Chromium with a different interface, the likes of Otter-browser are based off Webkit, which shares a lot with Chromium as well.

The only remaining browser that stands out on the market is Firefox.

Experience differs though, e.g. many webkit-based browsers are locked at 60 FPS, regardless the actual display refresh rate, which makes them unusable on high refresh rate screens. Chromium and Firefox are not.

These synthetic benchmarks really don't reflect what i'm experiencing with 200 Tabs open ^^
I don't know if it's easily possible, but it would be interessting if those benchmarks could be done with a lot of open tabs - chrome really suffers beyond 50 tabs in my experience.

I have a lot more tabs than 50 and I'm fine.
Maybe either look into better extensions to help or removing the problematic ones

Yup and with this so-called "web browser", Google is going to use your porn searches, webcam snapshots of the nerdy posters in your mom's basement, and your credit card transactions of hentai and waifu pillows just to find a way to ruin your life for the greatest political and financial gain in corporate history. If only people would see the truth, and realize how important/valuable each individual person is and that we're all in great danger!


Or... you can just use Chromium, or better yet, just disconnect from the internet.

For the record, I have nothing against Firefox. I use it on 2 of my PCs and for the most part I'm happy with it. But I'm just so sick of this "hurr durr they're collecting your data!" fearmongering.

At least Mozilla isn't going to intentionally knacker your adblocker unlike chromium will do soon with it's API changes.

WebKit? No no no, that was deprecated from Otter and Falkon a long time ago. You're talking about QtWebEngine.

Man you probably should not have that many tabs open, that's ridiculus!

Imo unfortunately the performance difference is pretty noticable in day to day usage, which forces me to stick to chrome kinda :/

EDIT:
Btw one thing I have noticed is that chrome just *feels* much faster while scrolling for example. This is becasue firefox scrolling alorithm is designed to have more "drag" and be less responive than the chrome counterpart. At least that's what my testing has suggested.

Well, it's my "workflow" and it works flawless in FF, so...why not?

And the only site i see a significant difference (when using fresh profiles without many tabs open) is Google Maps - and i think we can all guess why that is

I have a lot more tabs than 50 and I'm fine.

Why should i consolidate my extensions (of which all are the best for my usecase and none is problematic, as i consolidate my extensions regularly anyway xD) just to be able to use a (in my experience) slower browser with questionable privacy whose usage just further strengthens the chromium-"monopoly"?!

Adblock is piracy as far as I'm concerned. I'm fine with a minor and easily ignored inconvenience if that means I get to support people who create content I care about. If I'm overrun with obnoxious ads, that to me suggests the site cares more about money than the user experience, so, I steer clear of them.

The big next thing will be Chrome crippling the URL bar. Again.

I still use Firefox because i like my privacy...
And it takes up way less RAM.
Using it with more than 100 tabs open wihout a single issue.

Really adblock is now piracy?! WTF...

Gonna be real here, sometimes i wonder what people uses, in real life, to be that much delusional. In the end, i agree with you, that "nice-ads" are better than nothing to support content creation.

I'm really done here...
