Firefox in comparison with Chrome as of 2018
Better
- Faster page loads
- Displays
<table>s better by default - Using the same browser on multiple places actually makes your experience better, because you can list and send tabs from one device to another
- Firefox for Android is vastly superior:
- It is much faster
- It allows you to install browser extensions, which means you get to use uBlock Origin on Android
- It allows you to send and receive tabs from the desktop
- It has a built-in QR code scanner
- Telegram notifications actually work
- I’m not forced to see the neverending super-animated left-inclined special Google Doodles on my new tab page
Basically the same thing
- JavaScript speed
- Overall stability
- JavaScript new features support
- All major browser extensions seem to be available for both platforms (although I’m not a huge extensions user so I don’t know)
Worse
- Chrome has that nice OpenSearch support that allows you to type the beggining of a site’s URL, hit tab and then perform a search query on that site if it supports OpenSearch (Firefox has OpenSearch support, but it works differently, in I way that feels odd to me)
- Developer tools are much slower, so I use Chromium for debugging JavaScript apps and nothing more
- CodeMirror doesn’t allow me to paste using the middle-click on Linux, while in Chrome it does, who knows why? There’s an issue open on GitHub, but no solution for the near future (I’m forced to call
xsel -p -o | xsel -bbefore pasting stuff from the terminal)
