    Same for the most part, but I will say I tried using Firefox on the Macbook Pro I used when I was working on my masters, and it was an absolute memory hog. I noticed during my tenure on r/firefox that most of the posts complaining about sluggishness or consuming massive amounts of memory came from Mac OS users, so I feel like I wasn’t alone.

      I never used an apple computer for my personal use so can’t say much about performance issues because in the limited time I had to use them I was using safari because I couldn’t be bothered to do anything extra. In my humble opinion I do believe there can be issues because Mozilla doesn’t have the best record for optimizations for platforms. But it seems they are doing a better job lately because when I use Firefox on Linux or windows I barely notice anything.

        Oh, absolutely! Firefox on Linux and Windows has never been a problem for me. The only problem I had on Linux is the flatpak version gets stuttery when I want to stream from sites of questionable repute, which I could probably fix if I weren’t too lazy to troubleshoot it.

        Isn’t that only a thing on iPhone? I don’t think they impose that restriction on MacOS

        Ok but it’s still an official version of Firefox, so I fail to see how this is germane
