I've given it a try, but macOS's "activity monitor" reports a very high energy consumption, so to me it's a big no (being on a laptop).

I've filled a "feedback" about that within the browser UI…

That's largely true of any browser that isn't Safari on MacOS or Edge on Windows 10.

That's sadly true, but the reported values were pretty high (~45), even when in idle (~15) with a couple of tabs.

At the moment my "sweet spot" is on Opera with the "battery saver" mode.

Was one of the idle tabs Google search results perchance?

There is some deep and dank JS on that page that makes FF loop constantly when 'idle' on that page, at least on Linux. I had to disable JS for google.com so that I could read search results without fan noise.

IIRC, yes. I should check again…

startpage.com thank me later
