No exhaustive tests were performed, though from general usage everything "felt" about the same. Performance-wise, I found there to be little difference between Chrome and Firefox. not enough to put me off - I'm still using it, after all - but Firefox was a revelation! As I'm using a Surface Pro running at 1920 x 1080, running at 150 percent DPI scaling is essential (I don’t have microscopes for eyes!) and Chrome makes everything look slightly blurry. I was impressed by the sharpness of the display for starters - I had forgotten that Chrome handles high DPIs very poorly. Apart from little quirks like the refresh button being on the "wrong" side of the program window, Firefox seems pretty decent. Quite where the impetus came from, I'm not sure - just one of those "let’s see if anything's changed" moments, I guess. I've been a Chrome user for years now, but I was recently spurred into trying out Firefox once again. New versions were more bloated and sluggish, and in the search for better performance, I ended up with Chrome. Sadly, I noticed that things started to slow down. I also dabbled with Opera and Waterfox, amongst others, but for a number of years it was Firefox that delivered web pages to me. Like many tech journalists (and non-journalists for that matter), I gave up on Internet Explorer quite some time ago, opting for Firefox initially.
As something of a browser butterfly, I like to keep an eye on what's happening with browsers other than the one I'm currently using fulltime.
