From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I find it ironic that some Linux websites load faster on Chrome than Firefox sometime it doesn't even load correctly on Firefox (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Most sites run as well, if not better, on Firefox for me.

If you're running a quick and dirty test, you might not get an accurate picture of the performance differences. For example:

Your usual browser might have cached some content from the last time you used it
Unless you kill them properly, your computer might not have the RAM/processing to be running two browsers at the same time with the best performance
One browser might be bogged down with extensions / issues that built up over time

You could try giving Firefox a clean install, or opening it in ~~safe mode~~ (it's now called troubleshoot mode), to see if there's any difference
