It's also hella buggy on macOS for me, which is irritating - my browser is the only thing I need to work 100% of the time. As much as I'd like to reduce Google's browser monopoly, I consciously choose to make this one exception.
Have you tried brave? Not sure if it has feature parity, but it is a new take on a chromium based browser.
I am interested in what happens when you get to a website that insists you turn off your ad blocker. What happens with Pi Hole? Also I would prefer to just run Privoxy as I have Ubuntu running and can just use that instead of some extra gadget. What happens with Privoxy if you are getting a turn off ad blocker message? Currently I use 'cat block' or the 'EFF' blocker, depending on what computer I am on, those give yo…

Any particular bugs that are annoying you? The main one for most people seems to be excessive battery consumption on retina displays, which is being worked on (requires switching the renderer interface over to Core Animation, so is understandably taking a while). Apart from that I can only think of minor annoyances compared to some of the problems with Chrome like major memory consumption and the gradual strangling o…
It's a very non-function related nitpick, but it bugs me constantly so I have a hard time sticking with it.
Sync with the unchangeable default iOS browser is another one, but not a lot Mozilla can do about that.

That is the only major issue I have with Firefox. I still use it as my main browser. For one thing, container tabs are a killer feature.
> It's kind of scary how powerful DNS can be, isn't it? And that, I think, is why we see a push for DNS-over-HTTPS and other things: because eventually Google (and other device manufacturers) will only use the network-provided DNS servers to find their DNS servers. And of course your device will only use Google's servers, for your security of course. You might think that sounds crazy, but we've already seen it come t…
When I unboxed my old Kindle one day I couldn’t get syncing to work and had no idea why for several days until I tried adding a pass-through filter for Amazon in Pi-Hole, which was the culprit.

These issues occurred when my computer was plugged into a charger or on battery power. Replacing the thermal compound, thoroughly cleaning the fans, and reducing the number of open tabs and windows didn’t resolve this. Chrome doesn’t appear to cause these issues on my machine, holding all other workload and plugins constant.
I really want to use Firefox but cannot rely on it currently.

In my experience, watching videos (YouTube, Twitch, etc.) for longer than a few minutes frequently causes Firefox to overload my CPU and bring my entire system to a crawl. That is the only major issue I have with Firefox. I still use it as my main browser. For one thing, container tabs are a killer feature.
I was interested in Firefox containers but quickly lost interest when I discovered Firefox Sync doesn't sync container configurations, I wasn't going to replicate them in multiple places.

You can disable blocking temporarily (a few seconds to a few minutes) in the PiHole dashboard.
