Put 10,000 or so event handlers with their own DOM updates on a page. Chrome will run it smoothly (taking up a huge amount of RAM in the process), Firefox won't.


That's not a specific site though.


What is the definition of huge amount of RAM? How does Chrome perform when it's RAM constricted? Are we blaming Firefox for poorly designed websites?

It feels like this is a straw man constructed to bash Firefox, rather than a real world scenario.


Extremely poorly-optimized websites are far more common these days than even mildly performant ones.


Do you have an example of one with 10,000 event handlers? If the case where Firefox falls isn't real it doesn't matter that other sites suck (not arguing that fact).
