Should I use chromium based browsers or firefox? (lemm.ee)

Chromium has better features, but with google announcing its plan to 'drm the internet' I 'm not sure if it'd be a good idea.

What better features? Firefox has pretty much everything nowadays, and is as fast as Chrome.

From the comments I'm noticing a trend

Google Chromecast issues
Not allowed to do background effects in Google meet

and from personal experience:

issues using the store to update add-ons on Google docs
can't authenticate desktop Google drive

I use a lot of Google products, but avoid Chrome because of nonsense like this. Firefox works fine for everything else EXCEPT certain Google products. Feels intentional

Google Meet background effects actually work in Firefox if you spoof Firefox user agent to Chrome, I kid you not.

It should work soon without it. Google is just being google and takes its time to fix the problem they created in the first place.
