Google invested millions in making the fastest JS engine called V8. It is so good that it made JS a feasible backend language (node.js). I have a really fast machine so JS scripts cannot slow it down and Firefox's spidermonkey is more than fast enough and I really enjoy Firefox user experience
I was impressed with Chromium but not enough to turn away from FF any time soon.
The machine I use on a daily basis is under powered, at best, for the demands of nowadays; it still does its job but it would appreciate being relegated for less intensive functions. But the moment I upgrade for a newer machine, my complaints will be going out the window and my small differences with FF along with it.
But objectively, I have to admit, based on my personal experience, that Chromium is faster than FF on my machine and less resource hungry.
