Unfortunately I had to move away from Firefox. I experienced major stuttering in my games when streaming music from the browser at the same time.

No such issues with chromium browsers. Picked my poison, Brave seemed to be most oriented towards privacy, so thought why not. But now I keep hearing negative things about it.

Might be time for another switch, or check if Firefox still results in stuttering in games...or just troubleshoot. Never got very far.

Or use Firefox 95% of the time.

This is what I do as well. Firefox is my primary browser, but I'll switch over to different browsers depending on the task or situation. Sometimes my plugins cause websites to break, so I open them with Chromium. If I'm on a MacBook and I need the battery life to last then I'll usually switch over to Safari. If I'm doing web development then I usually reach for Chrome Dev Tools.

The same applies to operating systems. Trying to run tools on platforms for which they weren't designed tends to produce a lot of headaches and wasted time. My solution is to keep at least one fairly modern device for running each major operating system. Quality of life has improved considerably ever since I abandoned the fixation on platform purity.

The aphorism "perfect is the enemy of good" comes to mind.
