> a ~75% CPU usage reduction was noted when browsing YouTube in Firefox

I wonder how many of the people who say "Firefox is significantly slower than chrome" are using windows... On my computer, Firefox IS slower than chrome but (with ad blockers enabled) by an insignificant amount. By still being "the last remaining mostly independent, maintained and reasonably popular browser" I'd prefer it to use over chrome even if it is a bit slower.

Of course, ms is no longer the "old micro$oft" but their history on how they handle competitor browsers makes one think how much interest they could have in investigating and fixing such a bug.

My takeaway is: prefer independent software as much as you can.

It's not just Windows that it's worse on though. It doesn't perform well on macOS either. It's not as bad as it used to be when it had a horrible power draining interaction with display scaling on macOS, but it's still isn't as efficient as Chrome or Safari.

I use all three browsers (FF for personal, Edge for work and on my Surfaces, Chrome on my chromebooks). Edge on Surfaces is the fastest and tbh these days I like Firefox over Chrome in every way, and don't notice a speed difference. I consider myself a power user, for what it's worth.
