&gt; I agree that Firefox&#x27;s performance is quite bad these days, but Mozilla is already working on that (with Servo).<p>I&#x27;ve checked out servo and compiled and started it in release mode - it required 600MB RAM and 700% CPU to load google(!) with the same speed as my little firefox with tons of extensions - forgive my ignorance but I&#x27;ve expected more from the hype. I&#x27;ve tested some other websites but no luck - Servo is a heavy and slow beast.<p>&gt;  I am throughly impressed with Rust, the language, the ecosystem, and most importantly the way it&#x27;s maintained by Mozilla.<p>Rust programs consume so much resources that it could just use a GC instead of the complex manual memory management. The syntax and the standard library is as &#x27;modern&#x27; as in cpp - I&#x27;m not as impressed as I was a fan of Mozilla.<p>&gt; Personally, I continue to use Firefox as my daily driver, because it appears to respect my privacy more than Chrome, despite its performance issues.<p>Search the internet for optimizations, my firefox feels like as fast as chrome - sometime even faster. It just needs some tweaks. Even if ff would be much slower I wouldn&#x27;t leave it because of firefox&#x27;s wonderful extension platform and its nice complete theme suites.
