Maybe this is a windows thing? I use Firefox on MacOS and it is more performant than Chrome. I rarely have to restart Firefox. Chrome needs a restart at least twice a day (I use Chrome for google hangouts a lot).

This changed recently with Firefox Quantum, which was v69 or v70. I noticed a significant speedup at that point.

Firefox switched to CoreAnimation in v70, which made a big difference.

Maybe it is a windows thing, when browing sites on non-work/non-productivity sites on Linux I have no issues but then again that's a different set of tasks

On MacOS, Safari is superior in performance and battery life.
