Now compare Chrome with Firefox with a bunch of privacy and adblock extensions ;)
I have! IIRC, Firefox doesn’t see a particularly large impact (for better or worse) with uBlock Origin installed, though I haven’t run a direct comparison in a while. Adblocking is great, but I wouldn’t hold up better battery life as a guaranteed benefit.
try it on a device with an up-to-date chip that actually has some processing power and see that there would be no long term difference.
First of all: thanks to some fantastic community testers, we do know now that Firefox runs far better on Qualcomm chips. It’s still a little worse on battery relative to Chrome, but compared to Tensor it’s night and day.
Second: I think this attitude is too dismissive. Firefox running best on the latest Qualcomm flagship doesn’t change the fact that it runs atrociously on Pixels. I’m a big fan of Firefox, and I want it to run well for the largest set of users possible - including Pixel users! Hopefully, shining a light on areas where Firefox falls behind can help the engineering team close the gap not just on Pixels but on all devices.
