Which browser and organization method is best for personal and school use?

Hey,

I recently received a brand new 14", M4 Macbook Pro yesterday, and Im trying to figure out the best way to use it for both personal and school use. Im mainly stuck on what browsers to use, Safari or Chrome, and also the most efficient way on how to organize this thing.

From what I've heard, Safari is great with Macbook (obviously) as it has more support towards battery life, smoother performance, privacy features, more integrated with my other devices, etc. However, I have heard the profiles and the extensions aren't good as chrome. On the other hand, I think Chrome is more (somewhat) customizable, works well with other google apps (which my school is primarily google based), while being connected with all my other google accounts aswell, easy profile managements, etc. Except, I have heard that Chrome drains the battery faster, such as its health, also requires more power, and other things too. I also like keeping my things organized, as I have a separate school gmail, so profiles are important for me at least. I like having separate areas for school and personal use. The moral of the story is, what do I use and whats the most efficient way of organizing everything between school and personal use? Do I use Chrome for both profiles, Safari for both profiles, or use both? Any recommendations are appreciated!
