If you're still using Chrome for performance reasons:
- Firefox is now faster than Chrome out-of-the-box
- Firefox uses less memory than Chrome
- Contrary to Chrome, Firefox does not restrict Ad blockers, which will make your browsing experience much faster (and safer).
Better don’t make a fuss over the speed gains, it can backfire hard:
»Some people may have noticed recently that #Firefox looks to be outperforming Chrome, but these are automated tests on ancient CI machines, for Tiger Lake/Zen3+ CPUs it's a completely different story.«

I doubt these performance gains are even noticeable at this point, in early days 10% might make a huge difference — now I have scripts disabled by default and unload unused tabs just to have longer battery life, I don't even care if it performs faster, especially if it take a synthetic test to notice that, I only care about it taking ~1% to run in the background
