I swapped to Chrome years ago because YouTube stopped working right on Firefox.
I've started the process of swapping back to Firefox after 10 years with Chrome over this.
What problems with YouTube did you have?
Something was going wrong with video playback. Unfortunately, this was about 10 years ago so I don't remember many specifics about what the problem was.
I've exclusively used firefox to watch youtube on Arch and Ubuntu for years, never had a problem so far for what it's worth. I keep a laptop in the livingroom with Arch specifically to have adblocking and piping the video out to the TV. The youtube apps are terrible on the Roku last I remember, haven't tried it in forever but I think the main reason was I didn't want to see ads anymore.
