With the MotionMark benchmark using WebRender is able to close much of the gap with Chrome, but that Google browser still does perform better.

Chrome still led on lower RAM utilization with MotionMark.

Interestingly for this workload where WebRender does function very well and punt off much of the work to the GPU, the power consumption was much lower with WebRender.

Meanwhile in the JavaScript Speedometer benchmark, Chrome was about a third faster than Firefox.

Though in this case Chrome had to run more times due to higher deviation in the results and now the Chrome memory usage was spiking higher than Firefox for this particular browser benchmark.

On the power consumption front, it was comparable to Firefox.
