I never really cared that a browser could load a page in 1.5 seconds instead of 1.9.... I mean who cares?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

I didn't care until it consistently loaded faster.
That's now my new baseline, and anything slower than 'instant' is annoying.
I would care if that was no longer the case, because I don't like being constantly annoyed.

That said, I don't think the page loading speed is noticeably different between major browsers.
The addons, customisation, privacy and resource usage are where it's at.

I'm just hoping that some competition to chromium stays afloat.

I'd like to try out ff but I'd have to use it for a few days. Is it possible to possible to sync passwords and bookmarks with my Google account like chrome? How's the touchscreen support?

Afaik, all modern browsers can import/export passwords and bookmarks? FF lets you set up an account and sync across devices with a unique PW if you want (not your computer user PW, but it could be).

No idea on touchscreens outside the Android app.

I usualy love it, but for some reason Firefox fails to retrieve web pages about 75% of the time when on the internet connection at my parent's house, and I don't know why.

It acts like a DNS failure, but the DNS settings are the same in Firefox, Chrome, and the router.

Meanwhile Chrome and Edge work great.
