Firefox for Android is faster than Chrome - Some benchmarks I ran (gracelandtoo.github.io)

I used to run benchmarks and Firefox for Android would always be slower. This matched my feeling of it, but after reinstalling this week I was surprised to see that Firefox is benching higher in both Speedometer and WebXPRT. Both of these benchmarks considerably heavier than things like Kraken that I used to test with.

-Would it be useful to update this from time to time (let's say every trimester)? If I did update it, I'd try to use it as project to learn some basic data visualization and it would hopefully improve with time. -Does this hold up on your device?

Considering all the trackers and other creepy adware packed into chrome, it probably slows things down a lot. How's the comparison with battery life?

I didn't think of that unfortunately, but it's a great idea. Do you think it would be accurate enough to run both benchmarks one time and then check Android battery stats to get a % battery use? What could be another way to record this?

Because I'd like to record battery stats after doing all the runs, but that would probably require too much attention on my part.

But doesn't allow to have a custom homepage

but you can add a shortcut

I tried that, not same thing, have may selfhosted homepage with stats and bookmarks, needing a bookmark to access my bookmarks or quick look at server stats isn't the same thing
