Is Firefox Quantum Faster Than Chrome?

https://www.laptopmag.com/articles/firefox-quantum-vs-chrome

Firefox Quantum delivers on the spirit of Mozilla's promises.
It did demonstrate speed increases, albeit ones that were generally modest and intermittent, and memory savings that were primarily noticeable only with loads of active tabs.

What this proves, though, is that no matter which browser you choose, you're getting one that's decently fast and capable when both handle all of the content you're likely to encounter during your regular surfing sessions.

And that, more than performance that's a tad better here or there, is what matters most.

If you are invested in Microsoft's online offerings, use Edge.

If you are invested with Apple, use Safari.

If you are like me, and want big companies to stay out of your life, use FF.
