Is brave or firefox with ublock better in terms of resource consumption? (lemmy.world)

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)?

Brave is just improved Chrome, we all know how it eats RAM like chips, so there's your answer

Can't say for sure but I know the ad blocker in Brave is built in rust which should give better performance than standard extensions.

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.

Yes it can?? Use Mull from F-Droid to get a hardened browser. All FF versions support Ublock Origin with the right filters
