I've used Firefox as my primary browser since the "Quantum" in 2017. Chrome still feels snappier, but Firefox's Container Tabs is hard for me to imagine losing.

Chrome's most of the snappiness is coming from how it handles the DNS queries internally from my experience.

Pair Firefox with a fast DNS, and it's noticably faster than Chrome, for the last 3 years or so.

I discovered it accidentally, after switching to local DNS at the office. We run one of the nation-wide ones in a pretty close proximity in network terms.

which is a fast DNS? 1.1.1.1 ? I thought the OS caches DNS anyway, so shouldn't matter much in day to day browsing.
