Maybe FF should take some tips on those UI "smoke and mirrors". What feels faster is what users are going to go off of. For example, a page that fully loads in 1 second vs a page that incrementally loads in 1.5 seconds - the latter may feel faster because the time to start loading is faster.

Not to mention that the things the user wants to see are probably early in the load order and all the worthless garbage is coming in later.

That makes the user experience worse though. Anyone who's had a webpage layout change while they were trying to interact with it knows how frustrating it is.

Those SPA-filled days, all I get on those "early load order" pages are blinking blank rectangles and spinners.

Sometimes. The big offender here is advertising.

Pretty much this, the overall feel of Chrome is snappier and the UI/UX is much better

I'm still not a fan of the latest UI revision on Firefox.. Chrome is able to make me forget there is an UI

I remember switching to Chrome because of a new UI update many years ago (performance too)

If Firefox manage to catch up performance wise, I might give it another try
