I’ve been having a good experience with safari + ublock origin.

Firefox tends to consume a lot of system resources on my pretty modest machine.

Ublock origin can be added to Palemoon and it makes a great browser. If a website doesn't work in Palemoon then too bad for them. I've had a great break from twitter since their new UI doesn't work. And recaptchas can go captcha themselves.
I run NoScript + UBO in Pale Moon(1) on the desktop. UBO Legacy does not block Javascript. On mobile, PM is dead and Waterfox w/ newer JS blocking UBO works great.

(1) it's a PIA to manage both extensions, I'm using WF more & more on Desktop these days. I hope Pale Moon can survive, evolve or one-up their lack of Web Extension APIs.

My understanding is that Firefox previously had some specific problems on Mac that were mostly resolved. Might be worth re-evaluating.
uBlock Origin will stop working with Safari 13.
