nobody ever seems to detail what kinda bloat they mean when they say that, i don't think they actually thought about it that deeply. nobody complains about anything specific like XUL support, for example.

    In my experience, there was a period when Firefox crashed all over the place, especially under heavy load. Tabs shared the same process back then, one tab could take down whole the browser session when crashed. I vividly remember how it felt so silky when i switched to chrome. Now I am back to Firefox since 3 years. Firefox is the sexier now with all the shiny addons

    Yeah Firefox was kind of a hog around 2013. I have a netbook that I've kept around since like 2014 and I remember when I first got it, it couldn't really run Firefox. Firefox would freeze up and crash. Funily enough today Firefox runs better on that 2014 netbook than chrome does.

    I also had a high end gaming PC at the time and Firefox always ran fine as long as you had the reaources to run it.
