I'm lamenting the poor performance of the browser. I have nothing but massive respect for the developers.

But I marvel at the difference and see that even with all these updates, the gap between Chrome and Firefox gets wider and wider.

This sounds like confirmation bias to me, rather than real world use of both browsers. I use Firefox as my primary at home, and Chrome at work (web developer) and I find very little difference in performance in real world use between browsers.

As for frequent updates, Firefox is a little more noticeable because you see it checking your extensions, but they don't update any more frequently than Chrome. If anything, they still update less frequently.

That's not a universal perception. Perhaps there is something borked with your firefox install.

Or maybe it's not Firefox at all, but rather my Chrome install went better than normal and has resulted in abnormally good performance.
