> "Normal" websites and PDFs are fine and scrolling is smooth in chromium.

Any difference in your dogfooding between Chromium and FF performance? I've got a Pinebook Pro and Chromium seems to load heavy pages considerably faster than FF.

Also-- what's the heat like when, say, playing video on one of the heavier websites? Like Reddit's infinite scroll where various cat videos are just flying past and autoplaying. Not that I've ever gotten caught in that hot loop... :)

Chromium tends to be a bit faster rendering wise, but there’s a new fix for etnaviv which allows smooth layer compositing in FF now as well. Javascript heavy apps and WebGL are faster in Chromium for me.

I don’t have any reddit experience to speak of.

But for example, mastodon is much faster than twitter, even if they have very similar functionality.

Sorry, I just meant a sort-of "stress test" where both CPU and GPU are being used heavily. I'm curious if part of the laptop can get a bit hot as the PBP can under these conditions.
