Honestly, I tried it and I didn't feel it was much faster than chrome or opera, and the lesser use of resources was pretty insignificant for me. I also missed some features that are present in Opera (my current browser), like the native sidebar.

Isn't it a fork of chromium? How is it using less CPU? Isn't privacy-focused not performance-focused?

I used it long time ago and still have it installed. I used to get issues with playing videos on sites like Youtube but was good for browsing in general.
