Me! I have been running nightly for the past couple of months and it is really good. I use uBlock, Res, Ghostery and Imagus. I use Compact and Dark UI mode and it seems more compact than chrome. Also I noticed it consumes a lot less memory, but CPU is 50/50 I'd say. One thing that I find a bit weird is that I find that some Google services work worse, like YouTube eats more CPU than on chrome when it is not maximized and sometimes my connections to google time out for seemingly no reason.

Should I get out my tinfoil hat or is it more likely that Chrome is just taking advantage of optimizations that other browsers don't have access to or knowledge of.

  They optimize for Chrome, since this is where their users mostly are and where they want them to be. No tinfoil hat required.

    yes, I don't think its intentional, just a consequence of Chrome having so much market share.

YouTube defaults to serving WebM on Firefox, but on a Mac there is no hardware support for video decoding WebMs like there is for h.264. BUT there is an awesome plugin called h264ify that will force YouTube to use the h.264 codec. I've been running it a while and it stops my fan from kicking on when visiting YouTube.
