AceHigh:
For me Adblock Plus is what makes FF fast.
Even if FF is slower than other browsers on tests, in practice it is still faster because it never loads up all those ads that most web pages out there have.

^Last time I checked, FF was faster than the most popular browser. You know, the abomination that we shouldn't name because it could make some of us vomit.
But I agree, I don't like that FF looks more and more like chrome. People wanting a chrome-looking browser should just install chrome.
AceHigh:
I agree that FF default look is like Chrome, of which I disapprove as well. However I provided a link that shows how you can revert back to the old look in 2 minutes.
Burkingam:
Oh I missed that. Good to know. Thank you.

yeah. i still prefer fast startup/close though. (which is what slows down in what i said in the previous post)
there are other ways to make ads not load though (and it's for any browsers and not just FF). like HOSTS blocklist or proxy ad blockers or admuncher.
