I use it on my work machine. Doesn’t seem significantly slower than Chrome. Maybe on benchmarks but not in day to day usage.
Got a tip for us?

Do you use Firefox to support it?

Nope and Firefox works just fine for those things. The only problems I have are when sites use Chrome beta features without any browser checks. Lazy devs.
It definitively does not. I would know. You wouldn't.
So calling either the browser developers or application developers lazy is pretty mean-spirited. It certainly is a value judgement and, in the case, being made completely in the dark. We have no idea of the constraints impacting the developers on both sides of the issue.
If an application developer is delivering an internal application where they can control their user base and the software installed on the users' machines, then budgetary constraints might make it reasonable to limit the browser used. If the application is a public facing one, then it's a very strange decision to rule out a particular browser. But, I can't assert it's lazy.
It's pretty offensive to hear someone calling Mozilla developers lazy. It's a non-profit and has far fewer resources than the gooey company. And, they're not on board with gooey's world domination strategy.

If I ran across one of your sites or web app telling me to get a “real browser” that would be that last time I ever went to that.
