Compared to the resources it used to take chrome is absolutely a resource hog and that’s why I describe it as bloated. I wasn’t describing Firefox as bloated. But I agree with you that it was slow and a bit clunky back then which is part of the reason I moved away from it.
No worries. No it just got slow and I had problems with crashing but that could even have been windows at the time (the problems with freezing were definitely probably related to the Internet quality).
