I used to want to donate to Mozilla Foundation, but I've long lost any hope that the corporation would spend that money in a way that makes sense to me. The pessimist on me would expect donated money to be spent on more built-in "campaigns", "studies" or ads. Or maybe a bonus for their executives.

I just want Firefox to be faster. I'm donating to Floorp (a Firefox fork), at least they seem focused on making the browser better.

Oh well, thanks for mentioning Floorp, I'm gonna try it right now.

I use Firefox, but I'm curious about whether I'll 'feel' a difference with Floorp, in terms of performance.

I don't feel that firefox is slow on anything I use it on other than Android. Its reasonably responsive on all the machines I have ever used it with including some pretty old laptops. It seems pretty smooth, its been a while since I used chrome.

The only thing that firefox seems slow to me on is some of the online browser benchmarks. Day to day? I don't even notice. One thing that I noticed that -can- slow down firefox rendering a lot is using dark reader, but that isn't FF fault.
