Firefox 54 vs Chrome 59 Benchmark On Ubuntu Linux
0Firefox 54 was released and added support for multiple content processes! This should mean that Firefox performance, especially in memory usage, will improve quite a bit.
Firefox has somewhat of a reputation for being the "older" browser with a dated rendering engine and JavaScript engine (SpiderMonkey). Its' reputation is not undeserved as Firefox was released in the mid-2000s and quickly became the main competitor to Internet Explorer. However, the core of the Firefox browser has remained largely unchanged since the early 2010's.
Chrome uses a completely different rendering and JavaScript engine and handles the web totally different than Firefox. Chrome splits web processing into multiple processes and sandboxes each tab. The result of this typically means higher memory consumption and the cost of extra security.
This benchmark tests Firefox 54 against Chrome 59 on Ubuntu Linux using KDE as the desktop environment. Most Linux users use Chromium instead of Chrome but the results should remain virtually the same.
