The upcoming Firefox Quantum or Firefox on version 57, will be twice as fast as older versions of Firefox, according to the Mozilla Foundation, which develops the browser.
Mozilla has decided to name Firefox 57, Firefox Quantum, to highlight the changes in speed in this version. The new browser will be released on November 14, 2017 if all goes well with the development schedule.
The Mozilla Foundation has reportedly used its (its) benchmark Speedometer 2.0 to compare it Firefox 52, a version of Firefox was released in March 2017, with Firefox 57 or Firefox Quantum a version currently only available in channel Beta and Developer.
We should mention that Speedometer 2.0 is still under development, but the results show that many things have been improved in Firefox 57 compared to the previous versions of the proletterof browsing.
A publishing on the official blog Mozilla reveals how developers have made Firefox Quantum so fast. One of the key changes is the efficient use of the multi-core CPU, for example, when you open multiple pages.
This improved use of hardware of the computer makes Firefox Quantum remarkably faster. But the upcoming Firefox will include other improvements according to the Mozilla Foundation, such as priorities for tabs running in the foreground, and a multi-process architecture.
According to Mozilla, the upcoming version fixes 468 bugs detected by Firefox developers.
Let's see, will Firefox ever get close to Google Chrome? A bit difficult, and according to others impossible, as for this Firefox will have to be rewritten from the beginning, and then it will not be Firefox… The video below shows a parallel comparison of loading times.
But let us be wary of benchmarks created by organizations or companies that present and market their products.
