I do think Firefox gets a degraded experience on some websites.
For example, Google Meet supports virtual video backgrounds and 3D face filters for Chromium based browsers.
And Google Search serves up an older results page design with fewer features to Firefox users. Someone has literally had to create a Firefox addon to make it pretend to be Chrome so it gets the modern results page.
I realise these are both Google-owned websites - but I don’t think it’s accurate to say that the average user isn’t going to come up across these differences.
Pretty much every internal app for companies I’ve consulted at they never build them to work outside chromium. Learning site media often has issues. That’s banks, insurance companies and government.
The average user uses what they know which is often what they have at work.
Anecdotal experience is great.
I’ve never once come across a website that doesn’t work in Firefox and find Chrome and Edge significantly slower.

I regularly find websites I need for business to be non-functional or crippled. I use Chrome only for specific business needs. FF for everything else.

I see your anecdote, and raise you an anecdote of my own!
