Does it load google websites (youtube, gmail, drive, etc.) unnoticeably slower than brave? (More than 1s is noticeable for me) That's the only thing keeping me to switch from brave to firefox

*Edit: Why am I getting downvoted? It's just a question. Realistically, many depend on google services but still want privacy. Can't we ask for it??

Hi, for a long time Firefox was seen as slow by windows users when it was in fact Windows Defender slowing it down artificially to "check its activity" - while at the same time on other OSes it was actually faster and more lightweight than Chrome. I think that’s also the reason people downvote you - Firefox isn’t perceived as slow by the wider privacy focused user base (or they don’t care) - even though at some point it might have been on Windows or webpages are still better optimized for Chrome.

I was asking if it would be fast enough to surpass the speed of chromium optimized websites. But looks like there would be some sacrifices. Thank you anyway! Idk why people assume everyone would know about all the things you told
