Everyone "lags behind" Safari in battery life on mac, unsurprisingly: a mono-platform app can pull tricks that multi-platform ones cannot.

When comparing apples to apples, Firefox imho is actually lighter than Chrome on battery, at least on Macs.

Understandable from perspective of how apps are developed, but from the user perspective comparing Firefox on Mac to Safari on Mac is literally comparing software on Apples to software on Apples.
