Hi,

My test machine hardware details can be found on my signature.
I have done so many tests, I have proved that so many times, I have sent so
many emails, etc so long story short:

As per MY TESTS:
*Firefox wins.*
*Chromium loses.*

Yes, on OLD machines.

Thank you!

P.S.
With or without zRAM, Chromium has no chance to win with Firefox in my
case. With the latest version of Chromium or without it, Chromium has no
chance to win with Firefox in my case.
