Phoronix fails to report the facts once again. Better behavior when Firefox / OS is running out of memory is not a performance improvement in most cases nor for very many people. We don't run out of memory on a daily basis. It is also not a significant improvement especially when it isn't backed up with benchmarks.

Another Firefox fork I've found that uses noticeably less memory than Firefox is Librewolf, but I'm not sure why. I need to investigate its memory settings further.

Singular benchmarks are completely useless - Firefox got a 10,000 on Selenium. So what does that mean? And benchmarks against Chrome are not particularly helpful either. We already know going in right now, Chrome is going to be faster. We know. We get it. How does Firefox stack up against itself on Linux over a few years? That's the most useful information to display.
Oh, Firefox 71 got a 6,000 on Selenium and FF92 got what? Very useful comparisons here.Last edited by ezst036; 20 September 2022, 09:28 PM.
