To be fair, some sites/things don’t work with Firefox, and keeping up with Chromium derivatives is a difficult task.
Hence most default to Brave. They got the SEO. They got the marketing money and socials hype.
You have to dig deep into the internet to find Helium, Vivaldi, Cromite, Ungoogled Chromium, or whatever the fork de jure is. And that’s if you miss all the scamware.
In my experience, sites that don't work with Firefox are really rare. Or maybe if it doesn't work with Firefox, I just close the tab and go do something else...
Never had a website not work on PC Firefox
I know of one shitty ticketmaster-like site that I may unfortunately have to use like once a year.
Some stuff that requires USB shit
Yeah, but I guarantee you, that 99.99% of Chrome users never used that feature. I also keep a spare chromium installation around, which I used one time for the browser based installer of GrapheneOS.
Other than that, I never needed that feature, and I am already a power user.
Sounds like a "them" problem, if it does not work in whatever Firefox fork ill find an alternative website.
Brave is also fine. Just gotta debloat it. Or use origin for free on Linux. Helium still better tho.
