Firefox has been faster than Chrome for months now. I switched over to it on Windows and I'm enjoying myself so far. It's not for everyone though, so I get your apprehension.

It changed recently, it's quite amazing tbh, I'm back on FF however weird it sounds !

I'm all-in with Edge. After lasts weeks update the startup time is... wow. I've since started closing my browser when not using it.

Enabling either the OpenGL or WebRender compositor might help in case of performance issues (`layers.acceleration.force-enabled` and `gfx.webrender.all` in `about:config`).

Firefox on iOS, like Chrome, is a shell around the engine behind Safari. Performance is pretty similar.
