It's pretty apparent in "web apps" - plenty of SPAs grind Firefox to a halt and not Chrome. The other major win for Chrome is battery life on laptops. I know it's getting better for FF, but it's still not that close.
Safari actually does the best on (nearly) any hardware you can convince MacOS to run on, but they broke extensions recently so it's not viable for me anymore.
(I still run FF Nightly as my main browser.)

I know it's getting better for FF, but it's still not that close. Is this because you're on Mac OS? Firefox has always had Mac as a third-class OS, especially since they started pushing Metal. I can't remember the last time I had Firefox crash, grind to a halt, or even stutter.
