Anecdotally, Firefox has always been faster than Chrome on MacOS for me. Great to see it’s only getting even better.

Try clearing your profile.

Turns out having years of history, extensions, and a multi-gigabyte cache makes any browser slow.

Chrome automatically prunes history for quite a while now. Which I personally dislike, as I sometimes need to find something I visited a long time ago.

Firefox does the same thing too unfortunately, and it doesn't seem like it can be turned off.

It's a real pita for the same reason. Needed to look at browser history older than a few months and discovering it's all been deleted (by Firefox) was a very unpleasant experience.

Seems to be a needless data loss "optimisation" (sic), but I have no idea what the real world use case for that would be.
