I've never encountered such issues and when they do happen they're very random and not "periodically". I have no idea what you mean by "automatic tab grouping" but that did remind of two more features I miss from chromium which I've added.
To me my CPU usage has definintly gone down after switching to waterfox. Edge kept crashing periodically for me.
BTW, do you use any other extensions besides Enhancer, Annotations Restored, SponsorBlock and DeArrow?
Enhancer and a downvote revealer. To @gigglybobble 's point below, I would argue Enhancer is part of Firefox at this point.
And while I do understand that's not your experience, I assure you the issues do occur, and the overall weight and performance of Chrome and default Firefox is about the same. I still prefer Firefox, but I'm not gonna lie about the issues I've found for the sake of promoting it, either.
I would not say Enhancer is a part of firefox; the same extension also exists for chrome. However an early 2021 guide did say Firefox wasn't less resource consuming, thanks for that.
Yeah I also have Return Youtube Dislike, forgot to mention that.
