Quantum Firefox could be the fastest web browser on the market

Firefox Quantum will have support for all platforms, including Android and iOS

However, this does not mean that Google Chrome is perfect. And it is that it consumes an enormous amount of RAM memory during its use. Also, it consumes the laptop battery if you have a lot of tabs open and sometimes it can put a lot of pressure on the CPU.

One of the best alternatives to Google Chrome could come directly from Mozilla and it's called Firefox Quantum. Initially, "Project Quantum" was announced late last year as a completely different web browser from Firefox but created under the same Open Source roof. The end result of these efforts is called Firefox Quantum and it appears to be nearing its official launch.

In addition to many other details about its interface and functionality, Firefox Quantum has many opportunities to be successful thanks to its speed. In tests done so far, it turns out that it was twice as fast as Firefox 52 released about a year ago. To achieve this level of performance, only a CSS processing engine developed by Mozilla with the Rust programming language was used.

Its great advantage is that it takes advantage of all the cores of the latest generation multi-core processors. Also, thanks to the fact that Firefox Quantum can focus on the tabs in the foreground, it consumes up to 30% less RAM than Google Chrome under the same conditions.

To finish the commercial version, the team of developers behind Quantum solved no less than 469 problems that affected its performance.

Firefox Quantum comes with a minimalist interface, but it can be replaced by a menu with a design similar to that of Firefox.

Now available in beta for Linux, macOS, Windows, Android and iOS, Quantum will be released in its final version starting on November 14.
