I have really been enjoying Quantum. It's noticeably faster on almost every page I use daily, or maybe it's just placebo. I have noticed that on pages that are very JS and video heavy (YouTube, KhanAcademy) it is quite a bit slower than Chrome, so I've just been using chrome for those.

I had to switch back because of this. For example Google docs was dog squeeze slow.
It is odd. Web sites load noticeably faster, but web _apps_ take longer to load than Chrome. Only tested on Google SPAs so far, though, so it may be a lack of optimization.
That is easily explained by faster rendering / CSS (Stylo) but a slower JS engine (vs V8)
Google sites load faster in Google Chrome. It makes sense.
Hmm, Google Docs and Gmail are fine for me. Are you using any extensions?
Noticed this as well, granted it may be because I had to lose about 20 legacy extensions...
