> I doubt that Firefox is better, I seem to remember that building Firefox and the VIA C3 processor years back as around half a day of compiling, but was also an extremely poorly choose CPU for the task.

Around 6-7 years back, I was able to make a change & build Firefox from source on a mid-range gaming laptop without much fiddling. I think the build took may be around an hour or more and it was not too long to stand out.

I haven't tried building chromium to compare but from my past experience, Firefox's build was not too challenging for first time contributors.
