I'm an avid, avid, avid Firefox user, but I switched to Vivaldi last month after doing a comparison of RAM load with the same exact open tabs and seeing a difference of:

Firefox sitting at 12 gigs Vivaldi sitting at 5 gigs

This is on MacOS, so mileage may vary and all that, but with the same tabs open, why would there be such a difference?

Edit: And there's no difference in the plugins. I use the same plugins on both browsers: password manager, uBlock Origin, React dev tools, and Redux dev tools and that's it.
