- Chrome is safer due to the proper sandboxing of tabs.

- Try watching anything on YouTube on Firefox - for me even 360p stream (on 12c, mostly idle Linux PC) stutters to the point of being unwatchable. None of the is/browser settings work. Yeah, I realise YouTube is owned by Google

That's just my first two (just look it up, don't take my word for it), to show your "whining" claim is just an uneducated hostility not bound in facts.

I'm literally watching Lowko videos right now, on a computer made in maybe 2010, running Linux Mint and FF.

this sounds like a weird driver issue. in 30 years of watching content on YouTube, I've never seen it stutter unless I was using some weird low power PC.

That's pretty okay spec laptop, stuttering happens only in YT on Firefox (even at 360p), never in chrome (even at 4k), or on any other site. Up to date Fedora, always recent kernels (happens on all), everything pretty much latest, symmetric 1Gbit Ethernet + fibre uplink, etc, etc.

If you'd look it up you could see its not a single person problem, it's seemingly random.
