I used to use Firefox but have been using Brave cause I was getting tired of having to open Edge every time there would be an addon or tool that was Chrome exclusive. So unless there's other options for privacy focused chromium browsers I'm just gonna stick with brave.
What addon or tool that's chromium exclusive do you mean? I never need to open any other browser than Firefox. And use Opera with privacy addons instead? Better than supporting brave at least.
Firefox dropped support for PWA a while ago (a really sad decision, because PWA are an amazing idea... ) so just any webpage that needs to function more like an app is often more functional under Chrome. Microsoft Teams is one example.
Seems they have PWAs, here's a guide by Mozilla for installing them on Firefox

Firefox killed SSB, not PWA, no? As far as I'm aware it was a buggy mess, and I don't think PWA has been standardized yet.
It's really not that amazing. PWA is a glorified bookmark, and most people don't use them. I've built support for them for the businesses I worked on, and we'd get <1% usage on it
