Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

Really?
I use both Firefox and Chrome on Android, and both seem similar and ok to me. Firefox appears to be a bit faster, with uBlock, as my network is not always fast.
Which websites do you mainly use?
I keep chrome mainly for the google websites and services.
To be fair, I blame the phone more than Firefox for the performance, though at the end of the day, it's still slower than Chrome.
I went cheap and low spec (OnePlus Nord N30, because it had a headphone jack AND sdcard) for my last phone replacement and, for 99% of the things I do, it's perfectly fine.
That last 1% is kind of annoying and browsing falls into it.
It's a case where loading a bookmark from the home screen will crash about 1/3rd of the time with Firefox and will routinely take long enough that I'm sitting there annoyed at how long it's taking to load. No specific sites are better/worse, but it's all mostly self-hosted stuff: redlib, Lemmy, PeerTube, Firefish, etc.
It's a case of it being basically instant for Chrome, and 5+ seconds for Firefox - and more like 20-25 in the case of Firefish to actually load all the content - so I'm assuming Google is doing some background pre-loading or something that's causing the discrepancy.
You can grab a profile of performance issues and report them: https://profiler.firefox.com/docs/#/./guide-profiling-firefox-android
Aah. Have you filed a bug report on it with the info? Maybe they'll fix it if it is common?

I think the homepage can be made lighter by using the customize homepage option and removing unwanted stuff.
