In 2024, please switch to Firefox
This December, if there's one tech New Year's resolution I'd encourage you to have, it's switching to the only remaining ethical web browser, Firefox.

As far as non-Chrome goes, there's only two other modern browser engines. Webkit which is Apple stuff, and Gecko which is Firefox. So I don't believe so, no.
What websites break on FF?
Which sites? I haven't had that in years.
(And you can report them to Mozilla and they will fix it by either fixing a bug or creating a workaround for that site)
Top of my Head: Ms Teams.
Also, on side note, FF on Desktop doesn't support PWAs while on Mobile they do.
