FF is pretty crap these days (as a lifelong FF fanboy). I'd hesitate to use it except for HN where its low speed and security are part of the experience.


Firefox outperforms Chrome on web benchmarks, and it leaks less of your personal info to Google.


[citation needed]

Chrome feels a lot faster than Firefox to me (Especially on Facebook!), yet I still use Firefox to resist Google's stranglehold on the web.


I recently installed it because of this news to give it a try and reality != benchmarks, also deals much worse with large amount of tabs open


> leaks less of your personal info to Google.

Hope you trust Mozilla with that same level of info (in twenty years)!


I don't understand comments like this. Chromium grinds to a crawl and even locks up with more than a handful of tabs, and its developers are deliberately adding new security vulnerabilities.


> deliberately adding new security vulnerabilities

Misleading way to say more APIs, I presume?


The review process for new web APIs in general is pretty shoddy and not terribly concerned with security (eg Canvas). However I was specifically referencing this of the past few days: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36910978
