And everyone wonders why Firefox has less than a 3% market share
These actual benchmarks are just synthetic ones. In my personal expierence (using (ungoogled-)chromium and firefox side by side on the same sites) neither is noticeable faster or slower.
Well in my experience, Firefox is definitely slower, and it is immediately apparent that it is much jankier than Chrome. And as the many posts I linked above show, I am not the only one with this experience.
Also it’s hilarious how I give a source and now the goal posts are moved and the benchmarks are “synthetic”
CPU and GPU benchmarks are also “synthetic” but they still show actual differences between what is being tested.
Qualitatively and quantitatively, Firefox is slower.
I've never noticed Firefox to be janky, error-prone, etc. and I use a good number of plug-ins, including sandboxed, categorized tabs, no-script, privacy-badger, and an ad-blocker, among others. I don't doubt that the benchmarks say it's slower, but as a practical matter, I've never thought of the browser as slow.
