**Explanation**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Firefox achieve performance improvements by moving many of their internal parts from being standalone files or sets of JAR files into just one JAR file called `omni.ja`.
|
||
|
|
This reduces the amount of I/O needed to load the application.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Chrome content, modules, non-binary components, and many other elements are packaged in an omni.jar file for each base directory.
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
