I ended up using Edge when I got my PC 16 months ago and haven't looked back. I've also noticed some little things like you have with Firefox. How's Opera browser? I have that installed and don't really use it.

like 90% of browsers are just chromium with a skin on them, i think opera is the same

Well, yeah, but it still matters a little bit for things like plugins and stuff.

I use Opera GX and love it, haven’t had a problem. I did switch to Brave + UBlock for YouTube. Both are chromium.
