    Yeah I’ve noticed the same thing. I’ve been deliberately trying to do a bit of Firefox advocacy for a while (cos I honestly believe increasing its userbase is our only chance to avoid google ruining the internet). But yes every time there’s a bunch of people confidently complaining about how bad/slow Firefox is and advocating for brave or chrome.

    Initially I thought it was just a bit of historical baggage but it happens very consistently and aggressively so I’ve had the same thought.

      Meanwhile, I’ve been using Firefox for ages and have never experienced the problems these people keep complaining about.

      There was a brief time when Chrome ran better than Firefox on an old 512MB laptop I had, but Chrome has since become an infamous RAM hog. Firefox is the lightweight one now, and has been for quite a few years.
