      Unless you have several tabs open then it begins to bog down

      Edit: I was speaking from real world experience with both, I’m a power user so my issues are probably an edge case but I have more issues with Firefox hanging than I did chrome. Despite that I won’t be switching back to chrome as I don’t like their recent push towards drm and disabling ad blocked

        Mine runs fine with many many tabs, I basically don’t think about it.

        Sometimes people will test browser speed by opening a different browser for the first time while the other is still running. Opening chrome while Firefox is running can make chrome look slow, and so will the opposite.

        If you actually test properly, you won’t notice a difference. Officially, Firefox is faster

        I’m a power user as well, and Firefox handles my hundreds of tabs perfectly fine. On Android it honestly handles them better than Chrome, though there are a few UI features missing there, like tab reordering.

          Btw tab reordering is only missing for private tabs on the latest ff on Android.
          Unfortunately there is still no acceleration when reordering so the ux is not great when you have many tabs.

          Maybe it’s an issue with my PC or an extension then, bummer

            I’d say generally speaking it’s more likely that issues stem from extensions than from Firefox itself, so maybe try looking into that.

              After doing some testing, there were a few things that could have caused it, I had a lot of saved sessions from one extension, I cleared those out and lowered the amount of sessions it can store, I had a session app that would cloudsync my sessions, and I noticed when it was syncing another tab manager extension I was using shit the bed so I disabled the cloudsynver one, and I good ol reddit enhancement suite and moderator toolbox were still enabled, and for some reason it seems one of those two were bogging down other things quite a bit.

              As of now it’s running muuuuch more smoothly
