I don't have the impression that Firefox is so much more optimised. If anything I had the opposite impression (Chrome using less CPU than Firefox). Makes sense too because Google has a ton of money and Mozilla doesn't.

Still I mainly use firefox and on most computers it's the only browser I even have installed.

I use both browsers (mostly FF on powerful machines and Chrome if I need to use Core2Duo or older) and I have an impression that Firefox has some memory leaks. Chrome browser loaded with as much tabs as allowed by my RAM can store its tabs forever. But Firefox can not do the same, despite it has been written on Rust.

I'm back to FF as well (after some Chrome years), and love it. However, for my work I use Google Meet and online collaboration tools such as Miro. Unfortunately, I only use Chrome for those services because FF will jumpstart my Macbook fans quickly when using Google Meet / FF.
