firefox

What's with all these comments saying Firefox is slow!? I've never noticed FF slowing down? I also can't find anything online particularly damning (they all are pretty close in scores. No massive performance numbers for one or the other). I thought this was just a common misconception. Can anyone explain?

I just switched recently from Firefox after about 5 years and when comparing them,specifically YouTube/YTmusic, it was much slower. Google services though so it's not shocking.

Disable ambient mode and set Firefox.exe to use your gpu both in your gpu control panel and windows display settings (settings > system > display > graphics settinge)

I had the issue of stuttering videos until I fixed that and I thought nvidia control panel was enough but I had to set it in Windows settings as well

Though this is only helpful if your on windows

Get user agent switcher extension and switch your user agent to Google chrome
