I never got this whole "speed" argument.

I never had a lot of difference between both browsers (never got to use chrome much, admittedly), but even when it was supposedly "bad", Firefox never struck me as being especially slow.

Was it a windows thing or what?

I definitely noticed, before quantum (like 5 years ago) single page apps and frameworks like react were becoming a thing, and it was noticeably less snappy than chrome

After they announced the rewrite to better handle shadow doms and partial repaints, I switched for everything but development

Since then, they've done another rewrite, and the dev tools are closer, so I only open chrome when a site I have to use isn't working, or by client request

I think it was from a time when you could notice the difference. Now it’s just a race towards marginal gains.
