Firefox has been fine for me, tons of tabs yet doesn’t use much memory. It isn’t slow, seems the same as any other browser.
The list of places mentioned in the article I would never go to anyways so I can’t compare.
Funny how the list is the shittiest places on the internet, makes you wonder what those sites are actually doing to seem to slow a browser…
FF’s performance on Meta sites in general is terrible. Slow loading at best, other times they don’t load at all. On my Macs, the FirefoxCP RDD process periodically gets into a state where FF stops responding to mouse clicks and has to be force quit. There’s an about:config setting to deal with that but it doesn’t work for me. Frankly, I don’t think cramming in some AI crap is going to fix any of this.
Is it with extensions or without?
Sometimes sites are not happy when blocking ad for instance and don’t load or behave correctly.I’m not a fan of current Mozilla leadership, but the symptoms you’re seeing just sound like shitty Meta programming.
While I’m not arguing with you, opening them in Vivaldi, for instance, is almost instantaneous.
As an alternative, I’ve been using Waterfox.
You should try out Icewombat then.
