A scaled resolution is now default on most MacBooks. I haven't noticed battery problems but certainly seen RAM usage at least double that of Chrome and consider

  If you are worried about battery performance, I can personally attest that Firefox is better than chrome in terms of battery performance. Still Safari is the best in terms of battery endurance (its a VERY SIGNIFICANT difference). But then again its Safari, so you have to decide whether you want a capable browser (FF/Chrome) or a battery efficient one.

    In my personal experience, other than Apple crippling the extension feature by moving them over to the App Store, Safari is a pretty damn capable browser. It's actually been rather interesting to see drastical improvements in it yearly, even the Mojave build's come with a serious performance boost. Firefox overall feels a lot slower than Safari with some exceptions. The only major killer feature I've noticed is the Devtools on FF.

    IMO Safari is a very capable browser. I switched to it long ago and found I didn't miss anything from Chrome. Experimenting with Firefox now because I love the containers feature, I hope we'll see it in Safari some day.

    Safari is my main browser when I am not working with frontend stuff and it's perfectly fine.

  Have you tested if Firefox use more RAM when low on free memory? Using unused RAM is better than not using it. Looking at amount of RAM used by an application is not a useful benchmark. Unless your are seeing swapping Firefox is doing The Right Thing.
