MODERATORS
What is exactly being measured here? Someone care to elaborate what kind of things they kept into account?
It's this benchmark: https://browserbench.org/Speedometer2.0/
TodoMVC is a popular UI example use-case, which illustrates basic interactivity concepts. Webdevs will often implement TodoMVC when learning a new framework to get the hang of all the core concepts.
And well, there's a lot of frameworks, which may all have different performance in different browsers, so this benchmark tests many different implementations of TodoMVC, all done in different frameworks.
Ultimately, it tries to simulate normal web usage, it's not some speciality benchmark.
Exactly. Also, one might prefer 75, 80% of Chrome’s speed, but also 75% of the battery usage and maybe only 90% for RAM.
I for one would definitely not be against less battery usage on laptop/mobile
I would still use FF for moral reasons but I'd understand if uses it for the things you mention, but saying it's "faster" isn't really a good term in this case, faster in what? I mean, I'm not saying this is done in bad faith or anything, but would be even better if we could know that instead of simply clamoring over "fastness".
