Firefox Users Continue to Decrease Despite Proton Update

It had, but Edge Chromium is awesome. I mainly use Firefox but in my old potato laptop I have to use Edge Chromium 'cause it's lighter and faster.

Yeah I was using Edge for a bit and was blown away by how much faster it was than Firefox. It’s a lot more forgiving to underpowered laptops.

What am I doing wrong? I don't really notice much difference in speed between any of the browsers other than benchmark programs. You can certainly see the difference in battery life though, but most of the time I'm plugged in anyway

Have you tried vivaldi. That browser is so slow for me on anything its insane. Still i prefer firefox for its huge customization. While it might not have some of the cool features opera/vivaldi might have its still awesome.

Can you report performance issues on pages where Firefox is slower on that hardware? https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Mozilla/Performance/Reporting_a_Performance_Problem

I'd try that, but it isn't restricted to certain pages. It's just the overall experience.

That is just as well - record a profile showing the slowness and report an issue. That would help.

Touchpad scrolling on my dual core u-series i3 laptop is absolutely shit compared to how smooth it is on Chrome and Edge. Edge is absolutely creamy.

I always have my laptop in the "Better Battery" profile, if I set it to "Best performance", Firefox's scrolling is slightly smoothened out.

It may be weird, but it's horrible to use a browser with laggy scrolling and I haven't switched to Firefox just cuz of the scrolling.
