I switched from Chrome to Firefox about a year and a half ago. Chrome definitely felt more snappy, but the difference wasn't that much.

Except on Facebook. My Facebook tab is incredibly laggy, and gets more and more laggy the longer I leave it open. I'm one of those users that tends to keep 50+ tabs open, and I have to close and reopen the Facebook tab at least once a day to keep it from becoming a nearly frozen mess. Even then, if a video is playing and I click it to make it fill the window, it takes several seconds for it to happen. And with an i9-9900K, 32 GB of RAM, RTX 3080, and a 1 TB NVMe drive, my computer is definitely no slouch.

But facebook is a pile of... like I have a screenshot of FF’s task manager showing facebook using 800 MB of memory!

In a way I see it as a win, I really really hate opening it on desktop.
