I was looking for a non-chromium alternative browser to Firefox and found mercury. According to this site it is one of the fastest Firefox forks and also has optimizations from other well known forks like librewolf.

    Tried this myself, performance differences are non existent. In fact I noticed more regressions on speedometer than improvements.

    Don’t bother, use Floorp instead.

      Interesting, because I saw a 20 point increase between vanilla Firefox and Mercury when testing last night.

      Floorp looks nice in theory but in practice it is very outdated…
