Is brave or firefox with ublock better in terms of resource consumption?
I'm choosing a main browser, and I think that firefox with ublock and brave are probably equally good in terms of privacy and security, both of them look quite nice, and both are FOSS. The final thing that I'm considering is resource consumption. This reddit post shows that firefox is better than brave in benchmarks and ram consumption, but what about when firefox has ublock running and brave has all their preinstalled "extension" like brave rewards and wallet disabled (except brave shields is left enabled)?
Firefox has very weak tabs isolation on desktop, none on android. Brave has very strong on both. Privacy is better on Brave too, as sync is accountless and Firefox Account is kinda a spy tool, if we read their privacy policy what data it collects, even email is immidiatly shared to ads company after Account creation. Both have some bloat, probably Brave has more bloat. Firefox UI is way better, Brave looks like shit on desktop, but some new tab extension fixes it. At the end it is just a personal preference.
I’m testing now brave and like it. Switched from Firefox for few days just to compare. Is cool especially mobile version - is better than Firefox mobile.
Disagree a lot. Firefox mobile has extensions i.e. Noscript and custom UBlock filters, client side dark mode, and more...

But not mobile version - can mobile Firefox block YouTube adds? No. I they collaborated with Google anyway - got paid by them to have shortcuts of Google apps on the start page.
