I use Firefox and Chrome on a daily basis (Firefox for browsing, Chrome because it's well integrated with a lot of IDEs) and I'd argue it's false to say, in 2022, that Firefox is a bloated slow mess. I would not say either that it's faster than Chrome but I honestly doesn't feel any difference.
If I had to choose between the two without the ideological side, I honestly don't know which one I would choose. Probably Firefox for tabs containerization.
Totally agree. At least on KDE I really don't notice any difference in performance and always have both installed.
I use Firefox 99% of the time though. I think it is something about the tabs that I like better but it is a minor difference and purely based on personal taste.
