I use Chrome and Firefox extensively all day, every day on my M1 Mac. Firefox for personal, and Chrome for work because I like to keep things separate.

To me there is no meaningful performance difference.

If you are using "performance" as an excuse for using Chrome, I suggest that you stop doing that and take another look at Firefox or Safari.

However: even if Chrome was 2x faster, it would not be worth handing the web to Google.
