          Now, sure, there are some sites that load faster on Chrome, but that’s largely due to the source site, not the browser: AMP sites, for instance, are cached on a Google server and served more quickly to Chrome than to Firefox. That’s not Firefox being slow, it’s Firefox playing by the rules.

          And that’s good. Technically speaking someone could hoover up every website on the internet, precache every article, and serve it to you from their servers instead of from the actual source servers; but that would be absolutely terrible from the perspective of the open web. That someone could decide they don’t like your site, or the way you represented something, or whatever, and just change your articles or delete them. Suddenly your site runs slower than everyone else’s and users don’t know why, so they stop using your site.

      And I’m writing this comment on Chrome on the same device. Performance is equally great, though inputting the 2fa code was a pain on Chrome because it tried to “help” with the password entry.
