I'm sure that Chrome's rendering is buggy as hell, but people design websites to work with the bugs; so they design them to work with Chrome, and in Firefox they look wrong unless they make the effort to work with both browsers.

I'm not a web developer; when I have to do web development I use Chrome because that's what we target and anything else is an afterthought (or is work taken on by more specialized frontend developers).

I tried ungoogled-chromium, but on upgrades it would frequently crash or fail to start so I gave up.

Brave maybe is worth a try; the cryptocurrency tie-in was enough to make me reluctant even to give it a try. I want my user agent to be as agnostic as humanly possible with regards to presenting data from web pages -- that's why I hate the auto-login feature and the "view search results" feature; I want my browser to render content and do only the minimum possible work in reacting to that content.
