Google Chrome isn't as good as it used to be. While it was a great replacement for Internet Explorer and Firefox and Safari, but as it's become the dominant browser, it seems like it ain't quite how it used to be. And now that browsers like Microsoft Edge, Brave, Opera GX and Vivaldi have all switched to run on Chromium, we decided to get to the bottom of those performance woes.

    We used LastPass in our benchmarks because it's by far the most popular password manager. We don't use, nor recommend it.
  • @azenyr
    Firefox NEEDS more users. We can't allow the chromium monopolization of the web
  • @TAGMedia7
    I've been using Firefox for twenty years. It's has some ups and downs, but these days it's rock solid, stable, fast and reliable.
  • @TexasTimelapse
    I haven't used Chrome in years. Firefox + uBlock Origin is a winner. I'll never go back.
  • @Kaltsut
    Remember when like every YouTuber was sponsored by operagx
  • @BuildTimeMC
    Switched from chrome to Firefox 4 years ago, still a great choice, whould definitely recommend
  • @Dalrae
    I actually switched over to Firefox a few months ago due to the manifest V3 announcement. I actually love it. I did have to switch to the nightly build however, due to the stable branch lacking in performance for browser games
  • @JETBLACKPRIEST
    Yet another reason not to use lastpass, who would have thought.
  • @json17
    I love that almost all of the comments are about how people should be ditching google for Firefox.
  • @qtbanio
    I'd love to see how Firefox stacks up these days. I've been considering switching back to FF for a while now
  • @Feynt
    Firefox user here, I look forward to your Firefox performance review. Actually stacking up the popular browsers against each other would be a neat thing to do as well to get people to shut up about "Chrome is faster!" "NUH UH! Firefox is!" "Hey guys, Opera he-" "Shut up, we're talking!"
  • @thejester220
    PLEASE do a firefox one. I was sad to see you didnt do a comparison. I've been using it since it was released and have always loved it
  • @jonrainbow123
    The amount of times ive removed/uninstalled something because i didnt remember what it did for me, then a week or two later wonder why something isn't acting like it used to and completely forgot i uninstall that thing....
  • @alfonsito2652
    its been years since i last used chrome since i switched to brave, not only it protects me from some non desired ads, and it doesn't block or skips sponsors or in video advertisements (which i like) and the only extensions i use is dark mode, return youtube dislike , and zoom block (so chilling) + in efficiency mode it only uses like 3% or ram or so
  • @lezlienewlands1337
    Firefox user here. Been using it for the better part of a decade and never seen the need to swap browsers. It's fast, is immune to Google's manifest v3 and handles everything I've ever thrown at it. Would definitely be down for a browser showdown to silence the keyboard warriors.

    I gotta say, one thing I love about LTT: You guys make your own stock footage.
  • @NotSoMuchFrankly
    On May 1st, 2024 google APIs started rejecting non-Chrome browsers (at least FF). I used the User-Agent Switcher addon to trick Google into thinking I was using Chrome. There had been no update to FF so that wasn't the problem. About a week later FF fixed it and now it's fine w/out having to spoof being Chrome. But this goes to why Google is way too powerful. Most of you use phones but FF is about 7% of desktops and it shows how avaricious and evil Google is about controlling choice that they consider that 'too much competition'. That kind of monopoly should be broken. Hopefully YT bots don't kill this comment.
