According to Speedometer Firefox surpasses Chrome in performance

Firefox is a popular web browser

According to the reference tool used to evaluate the performance and responsiveness of a web browser, has announced that Firefox has surpassed Chrome which has long been considered faster and more responsive.

The project "Speedometer" is a set of tests developed by the Mozilla Foundation, which is dedicated to improving the performance of web browsers. Tests simulate typical user actions in modern web applications such as messaging applications, online games, etc.

The Speedometer test result is expressed as a numerical score, where a higher score indicates that the browser can handle tasks faster and smoother.

It is important to note that the included benchmark test results are only one aspect of a browser's overall performance. Actual performance may vary depending on many factors, including hardware configuration, operating system, and complexity of web pages visited.

The Browser developers and engineering teams use these tools to identify areas for improvement in your browser and optimize performance, which benefits end users by providing a better browsing experience.

Having explained this a bit, we can move on to the topic of the news which is that Speedometer indicated in this month of July, that the browser developed by Mozilla surpassed Google Chrome.

And is that for a while Firefox was noticeably slower than Chrome, but over the past few years the gap has narrowed considerably, with new features in Firefox helping to deliver much better performance under heavy load.

This is how they have indicated some users and developers, which have even switched from Chrome to Firefox, finding that google is slower, especially when there are many windows open, without taking into account the large amount of resources that it can occupy.

It should not be forgotten that Firefox is currently struggling in a browser market dominated by Chrome, since the vast majority of them are built on the Chromium base.

This has also become one of the reasons why some users, especially developers, choose Firefox over Google Chrome in order to escape Google products as much as possible for privacy reasons.

In addition to performance, Firefox can be attractive because of some popular features. This is the case, for example, with Tree Style Tabs, a popular extension for the Mozilla Firefox web browser. This extension allows you to rearrange and manage tabs in a tree-like structure instead of the traditional tabs lined up at the top of the browser window.

On the other hand, it's also worth noting that some developers also like the ability to modify the browser's CSS to hide or reposition the tab bar that normally appears at the top of the Firefox window.

By default, Firefox displays the tab bar at the top, displaying the titles of open tabs along with buttons for adding new tabs and other navigation controls. However, some users prefer a more minimalist or customized interface and may choose to remove the tab bar at the top to save space or achieve a specific cosmetic look.

Finally it is worth mentioning that although Firefox has improved a lotChrome is still a long way from regaining the ground that Chrome once had, as it currently offers a solid and well-integrated set of developer tools and has a great ecosystem of extensions and plugins, which can be an advantage for developers looking for tools specific to their needs.

How about Chrome is the most used browser in the world, with a high market share and that is why many developers choose Chrome to ensure that their applications are compatible with the browser most used by users.

In addition, the close integration of Chrome with Google services can be useful for those who use these services on a recurring basis in their daily activities, say for example in their daily work, school activities, among others.

    You said it, according to Speedometer, Chrome runs much faster and smoother on my computers than any other, even on an old computer I have.

    Well, according to my user experience, since I am not an expert on the subject, Firefox is slower when working on low-resource machines, however, Brave, which is my second browser, performs much better on the same computers. Greetings
