I think you're both right. On my Essential Phone (Snapdragon 835 running stock Android 9) pages tend to _render_ quicker in FF, but scrolling, pinch to zoom etc. is smoother in Chrome.

I also find that Firefox will bog down after a month and I have to manually delete out its cache in app settings. I haven't had to do this for Chrome since back in the Android 5.x era.



The latter might also be due to extensions


I could see that.

Not the issue in my case though.. I don't use any extensions on my mobile browsers.


Heh, maybe it's the opposite then! Like an accumulation of shitty trackers, because you don't use uBlock or privacy badger or the like. That would be pretty ironic


Trackers do not really accumulate though, no? Or can they install something persistent (web workers maybe?)


Store stuff in IndexedDB?
