I switched back to Firefox a few months ago due to the incoming Manifest v3 debacle and I'm glad I did, it's an excellent browser.

Opera works well with Twitch, but I haven’t done any detailed stat analysis on usage. The trade off between it and FF is (with my GPU focused browser settings) Firefox with higher CPU usage/temp(by maybe 1-2 degrees, negligible) and opera with higher GPU usage(but lower cpu temps/usage, as stated above). Since Opera is Chrome-built, it’s in a walled garden deal, when possible.
Yes use Firefox but ugh Mozilla wyd https://lunduke.locals.com/post/5053290/mozilla-2023-annual-report-ceo-pay-skyrockets-while-firefox-marketshare-nosedives
Any Alternative to Brave? I have FF as primary browser but for some websites which tends to break on FF, I would like to use something non-Chrome/Brave on Windows.
As far as non-Chrome goes, there's only two other modern browser engines. Webkit which is Apple stuff, and Gecko which is Firefox. So I don't believe so, no.
If the site breaks on Firefox, probably it only works in chrome based, so I’d say just use ungoogled-chromium.
What websites break on FF?
Which sites? I haven't had that in years.
(And you can report them to Mozilla and they will fix it by either fixing a bug or creating a workaround for that site)
Top of my Head: Ms Teams.
Also, on side note, FF on Desktop doesn't support PWAs while on Mobile they do.
If you're reading this and not using Firefox, do yourself a favor and don't wait until 2024 to switch.
Also librewolf, a more open version of FF without the shit like Pocket
