I never thought of my daily librewolf as a speed demon—as your info clearly indicates—but it’s not a sluggish browser and I’ve had no complaints. So there you go.

I know why Mullvad isn’t in there :wink: as I use that daily too.

edit/took a word out

Results for my current Waterfox 6.6.1

Your is waterfox-bin?

I haven’t tested Mullvad because I don’t like -bin browsers and without -bin it would take too long to compile

waterfox-bin 6.6.1-1

Nope. It’s the other way around, -bin packages/applications install quickly.

That’s right! I didn’t write correctly.

I tested the Waterfox from Artix (not bin)

24.2 for 9900x + 9070 XT and Firefox, but this can varying from your size screen ( mine is 1080p )
redo benchmark with small size screen :grin:

I ran it on a 1440p monitor. It’s quite normal resolution now days, my other monitor is 4k.

Here’s from 1080p but that’s not my every day resolution for that monitor.

librewolf faster than firefox? This is the opposite of what I found last year:

There is massive variance in the results here. It would seem there’s little value in sharing a single score from your system, rather a comparative against other browsers on your system (as @gabber and a few others did) is probably more meaningful.

Then, if we see those relative differences play out with other people, the data might start to have statistical significance.

Indeed, my daily driver profile that I’m using (lots of extensions) is significantly slower in comparison to an fresh profile that doesn’t uses these extensions.

On a different note, I just found out that my phone outperforms my desktop system in this benchmark.
