But although the gradual uptick of RAM amounts in most computers has mitigated this problem somewhat, it is still a problem - and something you want to be aware of. More or less since their advent, web browsers have tended to gobble up memory resources and compound the problem with each new tab or window you open. If there's a natural enemy of web-browser performance, it's RAM usage. But since Chrome averaged 0.302 seconds, you don't have to worry either way.
With an average time of 0.287 seconds, Firefox again won.
I used PassMark AppTimer to measure the timing of opening and closing 50 windows of each program, and I rebooted the computer before switching between them. The good news is that you essentially get that with both Firefox Quantum and Google Chrome. (We're looking at you, Photoshop - but you do a ton of stuff, so it's okay.) Given how simple a web browser is, it doesn't seem too much to ask that it open immediately. When you click on an icon, you want it to open, and if it lags, you notice. Although you may frequently think about the boot time of your computer (especially if it's older!), the start time of individual programs tends to be overlooked more often.
