Battery life is my primary concern, and unless they release battery life benchmarks I’d be hard pressed to switch off of Safari.

Last I checked it was looking like they would now be as "good" as Chrome, which is much worse than Safari. Hopefully that improved or will soon improve.
Safari means no ublock, the web without is annoying.
There are other options (paid ones) that are equal —or even better since they are quite automatic— than ublock.
The only two things I'm missing in safari to be hones are:
- A no-script extension or similar.
- Sync part of my work is on a no macOS machines I don't have safari there, so no sync. I partially overcome this with bookmaster for bookmarks, but I still missing tabs and read it later list. However, firefox doesn't have this later feature on desktop —and I don't why.
Firefox Sync syncs your tabs, bookmarks, passwords, etc. Your read it later list is synced through Pocket (which is owned by Mozilla). They exist on desktop and mobile.
Still using pinboard; one of the best investment I made in my entire life.
Pocket sucks big time!

FWIW, I started using 1Blocker recently with Safari and have found it to be quite good. YMMV.
nice try.
Disconnect works well enough.
