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)?

Edit: some people are mentioning brave's cryptocurrency. I don't want to use that, and I would just turn it off and use brave as an improved chrome.

Not sure if it’s an official feature somewhere

I'm not sure either, but after reading the add-on description, it seems like it might be.

Unlike the "The Great Suspender" extension, this extension uses the native method for discarding tabs, which means that even if the extension is removed or the browser crashes, your browser will automatically restore everything for you.

It appears to me that the add-on simply allows for more control over which tabs are automatically or manually discarded, and it also indicates if a tab was discarded or not
