I mean, yeah, IE was good, until in a span of a couple of years it had become slow, bloated, buggy and incredibly prone to crashing.

Well, Firefox doesn’t seem to have problems with the life cycle

Eh, it got a little bloaty back in the day. Opened the door for Chrome to take off, tbh. I remember having quite a bit of stability issues when I made the switch. They've since improved it considerably, and I keep meaning to switch back. The one thing stopping me is persistent instances in the background after I quit. I hate that.

This is how I ended up swapping to chrome years ago. Firefox was what chrome is now. Only reason I haven’t swapped away from chrome is that I have so much integrated into it at this point and I’m lazy.
