Firefox latest vs Chrome latest in Speedometer browserbench.org/Speedometer… .. Firefox team, y'all still have some work to do, that's a 53% perf penalty for running FF. 😢

My new personal web perf minimum "is it faster than an Apple watch". Note that this is a series 5; newer watches are 20% faster so around ~20. On the right is a Samsung S95B OLED "smart TV". Also, you'd be surprised how many Android devices can't clear the very very low bar of 20

Not that surprising if you know that Qualcomm's very very best and most expensive SoCs can barely score 100 on speedometer. Have I mentioned that Qualcomm sucks and has basically singlehandedly set the entire mobile ecosystem back a decade in performance? Great work QC! 👍

I wasn't aware there was a newer Speedometer *2.1*, thanks to @slightlylate for pointing that out, here's the results on 2.1 for Chrome/Firefox.. still quite a disparity browserbench.org/Speedometer…

Here's the ZTE Blade L9 2021, an Android phone which can be had for the princely sum of $53.97. What can I say about this phone except that it.. works? If you're patient?

To be fair, that's not the "smart TV", that's "whatever bunk browser Samsung decided to ship on their smart TV". I imagine running a better piece of software on the same hardware could greatly improve that score.
