Chome/Brave vs Firefox/Waterfox Performance

[Dr. Nathan Parker]

Has anyone tested Chrome/Brave's performance vs Firefox/Waterfox's performance?

 

I've primarily been using Brave since it uses the Chromium engine, but I've been playing around with Waterfox a little bit. It seems potentially a little faster at some websites?

I've never heard of Waterfox but do have Firefox installed on Macbook Pro 16 intel and Ventura, My main browser is Vivaldi (Chromium based) and I find it faster than Firefox.

 

I also have Brave installed but don't use it too much so can't comment on it.

My experience has been (on Windows, Linux, and Android) that Firefox uses more memory than Chromium-based browsers, which usually leads to slower performance on systems with limited resources (e.g., a VM).
