So I downloaded this on my Mac just recently. I loaded twelve tabs of mostly Wikipedia articles mixed in with some other stuff in both Firefox and Safari Technology Preview. As soon as all pages were loaded, Firefox was using 328.9 MB of memory, while Safari was using only 110 MB. However, Firefox was using about twelve times as much energy as Safari, according to Activity Monitor’s energy tracking feature. Firefox’s memory usage has held steady for close to ten minutes.
