Re:Safari is adopting an extensions API similar to Firefox’s... by dmix on Tuesday June 23, 2020 @02:41PM (#23618334)
Firefox natively suspends unused tabs which dramatically improved my memory usage and battery life.

Chrome has a similar extension but it's nice having it built in to the browser natively.

If anything you could argue that FF is behind Chrome security-wise with their more limited sandboxing and some other memory protections. But performance is largely a non-issue.
