For the input text rendered on screen, Tesseract did better on both accuracy and speed. We got about 0.1% character error vs 1–2% for RapidOCR, and Tesseract was roughly 2.5x faster. Blur was the biggest difference: 0.4% vs 14%.
The big problem is that this is synthetic rendered text, which is basically the easy case and also the only kind of input this extension captures. I wouldn't assume the same results for scanned documents.

I haven't tested EasyOCR yet.
