@imaqtpie, that is the point, the best browser is the one which suits the best your needs and use.
Apart of Vivaldi as main browser, I also have Firefox and the Otter Browser for test reasons (f.Exmpl to see if an isue is due to Chromium or general, FF with Gecko and Otter with Qt5)

    Yeah for sure. You're much more advanced than I am, let's just say it's not a coincidence that I'm on sh.itjust.works 😅

    @imaqtpie, I don't think so, I only a normal user with the experience since my first modem with 56k.
    Vivaldi since 7 years, which fits all my needs, due it's more a Internet suite than a browser, with all the funcionality you mauy need, without using extensions, apart of the end2end encrypted sync with Vivaldi Mobile, without sharing userdata to Google (Alphabet), what Mozilla does.

    the best browser is the one which suits the best your needs and use

    This is objectively false. The best browser is the one that gets the job done and doesn't have endless absolutely terrible security vulnerabilities (e.g. IE before they switched to Edge which is just Chrome) or intentionally leaks your private information (e.g. Edge leaking every site you visit to Bing and Chrome doing the same but with Google).

    Also, from a performance perspective "the best" is obviously objectively measurable and Firefox just took the crown which is what the post is all about. Realistically though both Chrome and Firefox have had completely acceptable levels of performance (imperceptible differences to normal humans) for like a decade. So it's probably not that big a deal.

    A bigger deal for normies using their browser IMHO is memory utilization which is a much bigger factor than, "how fast does the browser load and run HTML, CSS, and JavaScript?" Just ask Google how much more memory efficient Firefox is! LOL

    Google search result showing Chrome uses up to 1.77x more memory than Firefox
