There seems to be this idea that some sites work worse with FF but in all the time Chrome has existed, I've never found any sites that didn't work with FF.

Maybe it's ublock, but I've had plenty of sites that just don't work on firefox. barclaycard, blackboard, and the schools web print system (dts) are my recent examples.

I agree. I've never encountered a site that didn't work in FF. But I have seen sites that don't work in Safari.

  zoom web client doesn't do audio on ff. It's a bit of a special case and they do have a dedicated app, so it's not the end of the world.

    I was planning to switch back to Firefox; this would actually be a dealbreaker for me.

      I have chromium for that one site. Everything else is in ff. You can switch for a single site, it's not painful.

    Since Mozilla has switched to Zoom internally as of recent, I'd be surprised if this compatibility issue stays unfixed for long.

I use Chrome almost exclusively at work, Firefox on my gaming computer, and Safari on my personal MacBook. Other than extensions on Safari and minor differences in keyboard shortcuts, I don't really notice the differences.

I've never found any that don't work, but Firefox supports fewer "standards", so you can end up with a somewhat degraded experience on some sites. My own company's product, for example, has some janky bits on browsers other than Chrome. The performance is only a little bit behind on most benchmarks, but isn't anywhere near as fast for certain kinds of animation. It can be noticeable on sites that run a lot of animation. Like, say, sites with ads. Possibly only if you're using an older or less powerful computer. Which isn't how we of the orange header bar like to roll, but also isn't a terribly uncommon thing to do out there in the wider world. (Scare quotes around "standards" because calling Chrome-only things standard nowadays seems a bit like calling AcitveX a standard 20 years ago.)
