How much does it really matter to use firefox? (lemm.ee)

I donate to the Mozilla foundation, and I love Firefox a ton. But I can't seem to like the UI by installing a theme, and when I change it to look better the browser slows to a crawl. Does it really matter all that much if I use Chromium?

P.S. To the people from my last post regarding something similar, Firefox was too slow, I'm sorry, but I use Vivaldi instead of Brave because Brendon Eich can suck my dick.

FF is totally broken for me when I try to use anything Google or Cloudflare related for some reason. With cloudflare, I'm in a human verification loop and with Google I get the message "This browser or app may not be secure", in a regular window or private window. This is Ubuntu 22.04. Works fine in chrome. Only browser plug-in I use is KeePassXC, and disabling it doesn't resolve the issue. Disabling pfblocker-ng at my router also did not solve the issue.

Have you tried creating a new, clean profile? You can do so with about:profiles.

I'll give that a shot when I get home.

This fixed the issue. Thanks for the suggestion!
