I love FF I've been using it for well over a decade but it runs like absolute ass on my pc. I downloaded chrome to test the waters and it's so much faster but now I feel like a shit for letting even more google into my life (already use youtube, gmail and search). Is there a hidden 3rd option I just don't know about?

I got a similar problem in a low end computer (celeron n3010). I had to use google meet, and the cpu ran at 100% with audio being heavily degraded, unless I disabled all the video. I checked for hardware decoding and it was activated, so I tried chromium instead and it worked fine, with clear audio and no need to lower video quality, while keeping the cpu at around 80%. It was a huge difference in performance. However, I didn't experience great difference in performance on other things.

I don't know if firefox is lagging in optimizations, or if google is purposely making their services worse on firefox, like they did with youtube some time ago.
