Hi I have been an avid firefox user for decades, but now I look at the chromium edge from Microsoft and am tempted to ditch firefox althogether. It is so fast in opening the first window to the loading of webpages its instant. I am on cloudflare dns and that is the fastest around. Then when I check Edge or normal Google's Chrome version and compare it to Firefox I see a day and night difference on the rendering engine. I run on an 8700K PC but boy is it faster on edge chromium. The only reason I haven't switched is the interface is larger compared to firefox, on edge browsing bookmarks is difficult as I have to scroll a lot before I get to what I wan't but on firefox it is much slimmer so I don't have to scroll the fat bookmarks dropdown menu like in edge. But That is the only thing that is holding me back. Could you guys please not reinvent the wheel diverging to think what more a browser must do to what can a browser do well that it already does and just get Firefox to loading websites faster, your Geko engine is beaten dead by Chrome's engine. They are ridiculously faster in perceptualy seeing that webpages drop on your screen in seconds and dns resolution does not take such back and forth. The whole page just drops when firefox pieces all of the webpage as you sit and look at it to render. Could it not just appear instantly and start clicking on links to further browse on. Leave everything you are doing and just make it render faster than chromium and you would have your userbase back. Privacy is great I do like the new bells and whistles protecting me. On desktops at least could you not unleash the full multicore capability of process crunching to get the webpages to load. I am on an 110 Mbps Download, 10Mbps Upload, 7ms Ping connection and then there is cloudflare. Tried different DNS providers like quad dns, cleanbrowsing, opendns etc but on edge and chrome still faster. Tried fiddling with network trr mode and dns doh on firefox settings, tried various troubleshooting methods but still firefox takes time to resolve dns from initial press of the link to rendering the webpage via gpu or even disabling web gfx. I don't have time to type all of what I have tried here it will become a bible. So just saying under the hood do something so that Firefox renders and loads webpages fast, this is the basic principle of a web browser to browse the web without hinderance or annoyance. Oh and also I am running my Windows 10 OS on Intel Optane 900P so that isn't a bottleneck at all. Thas pure Optane drive no cache or QLC attached drivel. Yes I know all about addons disabling and firefox refresh and startup cache reset and all the other shenanigans. I am not a noob, tried about:config improvements as well. So no Firefox does not by any measure come close to loading webpages as fast as chrome does.
