For me, all Chromium web browsers (Vivaldi, Brave, Opera, Edge, etc) is extremely slow on my laptop from 2011, with 4GB of RAM. Mozilla Firefox is just one The web browser I can usually work on if I’m using an older computer.

Also when I was in Belarus and had to register myself Portal.gov.byMozilla Firefox has saved the day.

This web page recommends using Internet Explorer; By using another web browser, the correct performance of that web page cannot be guaranteed. “So Microsoft Edge should work too, right?“, I thought. That was optimistic thinking. Everything kept crashing with Edge. I couldn’t even fill out a form digitally, because that web page kept jumping back to the main menu every two to three minutes. On top of that, everything loaded Incredibly slow. It was just a good, fast laptop. I did everything on it, it starts up fast and responds quickly (9th generation Intel Core i7 processor, 8 GB RAM). It was strange to me that Edge had so many problems with a simple model.

Then I tried Vivaldi, then Opera, then Brave: all with exactly the same result.

Then I tried Mozilla Firefox, and everything worked fine. Portal.gov.by Loaded quickly. All buttons responded quickly; The form loaded in less than a second and I was able to fill out everything without going back to the home page. Everything suddenly went perfectly.

For some reason, Chromium is not very optimized. You won’t notice it much on new computers, but on slightly older computers the speed difference between Chromium and Firefox is huge.
