Is speed for you nowaday that important (i guess no because we probably all use firefox). I mean sure a browser needs to work on it's performance, but i don't think the browser performance influence my choice that much because all of them do a decent job in almost all cases.

Agreed. I don't get this obsession with marginal speed differences. Stability and privacy and ethics are together 1000 times as important as a 10ms speed boost. I have used Firefox continuously since it was in beta (except for about 6 months of Chrome 15 years ago, when Chrome was still harmless). Today there is literally no choice any more for anyone who understands the internet and cares about their own freedom. It's Firefox or bust. Any speed edge Firefox has is an anecdotal bonus, all but irrelevant.

Especially if the difference is 10 ms
