LibreWolf vs Brave - Between a rock and a hard surface

So I'm trying #LibreWolf but it seems like it consumes more memory than #Brave. On the other hand, the former feels faster than the latter. For comparison, I opened both with nothing but "data:text/plain," page (effectively empty page, emptier than about:blank). Librewolf uses 410MB, Brave uses 190MB.

Despite that, I'll try to stick to LibreWolf. But I'm trying to also stick to things such as #Geminispace and #Gopher, bc the web is getting increasingly heavier. Sure it's fun to #develop using #HTML5 and #JS APIs and I'll continue to develop my projects, but using it daily is a whole other story..

A screenshot containing two windows, side-by-side. The first is the LibreWolf's Process Manager, showing the memory consumption from its components: 410MB total, from which 91MB are from extensions. The second window is the Brave's Task Manager, also showing the memory consumption: Brave Browser is using 190108K (190MB), GPU Process is using 44804KB (44MB), extension is using 39876KB (39MB). All components from Brave adds up to 370MB, less than 410MB from LibreWolf.
