• engine performance improvements

    Absolutely. Firefox is so slow compared to Chrome. Switching tabs, scrolling, video calls, … sure. Sure, Chrome/Chromium is a memory hog, but come on Mozilla, just invest in Servo already and stop adding useless features.

      • Firefox desktop performance is on par with Chromium.

        Mate, I don’t know what kind of beast or toaster you have as a machine, but my experience tells me otherwise.

        Also Servo is now a project under the Linux Foundation, and likely Mozilla Corp doesn’t have enough employees to contribute to external projects.

        Yes, Mozilla fired the entire Servo team and gave their previous CEO a raise during the pandemic. They can still pivot and focus on Firefox instead of whatever other stuff they have been doing.

          Same. Install Firefox on a ChromeBook, which are almost all universally low powered, then watch it chug.

          I don’t care how long the former CEO has been involved with the foundation, she has not been good for Mozilla.
