Eh that is a huge stretch. Besides Firefox is still significantly less performant than Chromium.

In what ways? I'm curious as I have been under the impression it's no longer much of a difference in the way it used to be.

Performance is overrated and irrevelant. It's simple force - not a skill. I can't do in more performat Firefox, neither it doesn't matter how performant Chromium, things that was possible in Firefox with old extensions. Not having such abilities, the only thing left to Google to talk about was.. performace - and crippling powers of Firefox. Rust is a new skill, not more of force.

  • Performance is overrated? What? I'm sorry but not all people are rich enough to own multiple threadrippers.

    Performance is a skill, probably one of the most important skills.

    Rust is a darn language, not a skill. You can have performant code in rust and in c++ and damnit even in brainfuck if you care enough.

    But the reality is that there is more performance oriented code written in C++ than in rust, and that matters.

    • Another skill, inconvinient, forbidden and forgotten ( * * * that I wish Ladybird will have * * * ): plugins - so I have A Browser For All Documents that can play every video format regardless of web video codec support or licencing etc. (with vlc, mplayer, whatever).

      Neither Javascript shall be needed to see anything on the Web - if not being essential for tracking and ads - but it's you who have to pay for it with that threadrippers (and no access to source data) ? Yes, it happend people are rich enough to belive that.

      Making things simple and possible is the most important skill.
