Not necessarily. And there’s plenty of browser based software/services that do not work with Firefox or have a limited functionality with Firefox that are required for work. I know back when I did more freelancing with podcast clients this was a constant problem. The OS folks were using could reek havoc if it wasn’t safari, edge, or chrome 90% of the time. |

As it happens I lived through this in the early 00s with IE but back then I used Opera for personal browsing and IE for work.
Even in the very remote possibility that you can somehow make changes to root certificates but cannot install a second browser (and I’m being charitable here because there are literally zero reasons that would ever happen), it would still make more sense to update your local hosts files with a pihole-list block list rather than installing your own root cert and using a 3rd party tool to MITM all your web traffic.
I do get the appeal of this tool. I honestly do. But there are so many safer ways to solve this same problem.
