I also monitored privacy and performance and opera gx was the worst
You might also be interested in how much modern browsers write to your SSD, even when idle.
Why would they do that?
to save your tabs in case of a crash or for the “restore tabs on open” option
you can disable that or reduce how frequent it is in firefox about:config, but on chromium too bad
Where in the config do you disable that?
Or use a RAM disk with something like Profile sync daemon
Nice! I’d be interested to know about other browsers too
Yeah I wanted to do that but I decided to only compare browsers that are widely used
I’m not sure Vivaldi and LibreWolf are more widely used than Firefox or Edge…
Vivaldi is like opera on steroids and librewolf is technically firefox so yeah
What did you conclude? The screenshot tells part of the story, keen to hear the other bits
So opera gx is the worst compared to performance,privacy etc
Would you be willing to share all your results?
Yes but lost some of the results
Firefox stayed winning
Shame you lost the privacy screenshots. Whats the numbers behind the apps, and how did you test?
I used speedometer and a privacy test I forgot it’s name
No
The title promises so much, but OP’s dog ate the homework and there’s barely anything he can show us.
Bcs I lost the 2 images speed (yeah thought it was kinda useless)and privacy test
Opera is basically spyware.
Why I compared the browsers
Running those four browsers at once is not a clever way to compare them. You should turn off all background process unnecessary for the operating system to work and then run just one browser, reboot each time you’re done with measurements. And to make sure whether the e performance depends on the operating system, you should do the same on every major OSes (Linux, MacOS and Windows). Don’t forget to open the same websites with the same number of tabs for a fair comparison.
Opera gx is the only browser that does not support linux and I dont own a MacBook soo
I mean, thanks?
But this is way too generalized. Were tabs open? Maybe Opera pre-fills where Chrome/FF doesn’t. There’s a reason real tests isolate and have a methodology.
While I’m not surprised by the screenshot, it’s not actually useful in any way on it’s own.
Ohh okay but I had around 9tabs open
“who is a good boy? Yes you are! Yeees you aaareee!!!” 💙
Wow, I’ll be switching from Firefox to Task Manager!
Interesting, what was the browsing experience for each? Aside from opera, which I noticed you mentioned was the worst of the 4
Not to defend the Chinese spyware, but that’s 26 open tabs, no? Or what does that number represent, other than individual processes (Correct me if I’m wrong, I haven’t used Windows since Win 7)?
From my understanding, it’s how many processes it’s running?,
Could be open tabs, but my Firefox always has at least (3) even when I’ve just opened it.
Did you open the same websites (same number of tabs) at the same time across all of the browsers?
From the screenshot it looks like you have a different number of tabs open in each one.
