When I hear someone say 'it's not my connection, I did a test and I get 500Mbs down, so it's got be my browser that's slow!'. In fact, I would argue that most 'perceived' slowness or delay by users has nothing to with their browser but is related to website server response and Internet routing bottlenecks. the vast majority of users, regardless of browser, go about our daily work and never notice an issue. There will always be these edge cases, regardless of browser, about some user with 50 tabs open, with 4GB of system ram, insisting that xyz browser is a memory hog. Modern CPUs and OSes work very efficiently with apps to allocate, release and purge memory, all behind the scene. Do humans really notice that a page renders 10 milliseconds faster on one browser vs another? And regards memory, it's possible to setup scenarios and conditions to make ANY browser grab a ton of memory. And in my opinion, judging browsers based on rendering speed and perceived memory usage is not very useful. Firefox, if for no other reason that it isn't based on Chromium, is a welcome alternative. With so many of the browsers now being based on the Chromium core, they all feel like they are just using different 'lipstick'.
