Chrome Dev Tools are unusably slow. FF is much better, is it just me?

Has anyone else noticed that Chrome Dev Tools have gotten almost unusably slow for source-mapped debugging? Reached a breaking point (no pun intended) today where the console wouldn't start printing till several seconds after the page loaded.

Hitting a breakpoint takes several seconds before the page even let's you know it's hit breakpoint, then several more before the location loads in dev tools.

Switched to Firefox today, and damn Firefox feels like butter, clicking everything feels faster. Breakpoints load up pretty much instantly.

Also, on chrome if you reload when you're on a breakpoint, you have to crash the tab and create a new one or it will never load. Being able to re-load in the middle of debugging on Firefox and not re-create my whole tab is such a relief.

I switched to FF when Quantum came out and have not looked back. Chrome is bloatware. Plus using it is just encouraging its mission to obliterate any semblance of browser standards.
