PS. For M2 the flags could be suboptimal, but compared to the shitshow of x86 march=generic it is not nearly as bad.

Oh, I get it. The mercury people were looking at their graphs backwards.

I'd like to see Thorium vs Chromium vs some other fork as well.
Seeing how Mercury compares make me wonder how that would be.

Phoronix: Benchmarking Mercury As The "Fastest Firefox Fork" With AVX, AES, LTO + PGO
Following the news last week of Firefox outperforming Chrome in SunSpider, a Phoronix reader pointed out Mercury that is an open-source web browser claiming to be the "fastest Firefox fork" and making use of Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) and AES instructions along with compiler features like Link-Time Optimizations (LTO) and Profile-Guided Optimizations (PGO). The project advertises as being 8-20% faster than upstream Firefox. Curious I ran a couple benchmarks on my end of this Firefox fork.
