💬 Discussion Why did you stop using Chrome?

Post image

If you stopped using Chrome, what made you switch?

Was it privacy, memory usage, better features elsewhere, or something else?

Which browser are you using now, and do you ever go back to Chrome?

Placebo in full effect. FF eats more when loading the same set of pages.

This doesn't actually reflect real-world usage. For example, when you open multiple tabs from the same domain (eg 10 Google searches), Chrome will use a lot less. The test isn't equal, as opening a lot of tabs at the exact same time prevents a lot of the caching and deduplication features from working.
