High battery usage on android (discuss.tchncs.de)

I recently noticed that Firefox for me has pretty high battery usage, more than twice of what Connect (Lemmy) has at ~75% the screen time.
Could this be because of extensions? I'm using Dark Reader and uBlock Origin

Dark reader has lost popularity because I think its spyware now, but to the point: uB origin is super light on resources so I do not think so.

Spyware? When did that happen?

Yeah I'd like to know this as well as I use DarkReader on all my devices.

I read in the past that it was hijacking page links but it transpired that people were downloading clones from unofficial sources.
