Biggest issue for me is Twitch, HBO Now, and to a lesser extent YouTube although I've noticed issues with any site streaming video. Even on a gigabit connection and a new $2k desktop, Firefox buffers or the video just goes black and I have to refresh the page to watch for another 10-15 minutes before it happens again. Chrome never does this. I can't be the only person that's had this experience.

I know I also had issues with JavaScript on some sites causing tabs to freeze that wasn't an issue in Chrome as well, but it's been long enough (6+ months) I have no idea what those sites even are now.

I remember having some similar issues with old versions. But a couple of versions after their major redesign they are all gone.

There was an issue with Youtube last year and they blamed Youtube for it, but that is fixed now too.

You can give the latest version a try.
