It's a bit perplexing to me that Firefox proponents keep denying performance issues for years.

You can just compare it yourself or look at the some of the zillion benchmarks.

Are they...issues?

Like, I frankly couldn't care less if Chrome is capable of running some funky JS that is mainly used on sites that I don't visit a bit faster, or is capable of rendering some css animation that I would honestly prefer died in a fire a bit faster.

  • They aren't if the goal is having a Firefox useful to you.

    They are, if the goal is to figure out why Firefox market share has plummeted. People do care about `funky` websites being faster.

    The modern web has immensely useful software which a good fraction of web users depend on that are rendered unusable on Firefox once in a while.

    • I don't disagree, I'm just trying to address the incredulity that perhaps for some people, Firefox might not have problems, or (gasp!) for some, Chrome might be the one with problems.
