Chrome vs Firefox in Linux

So I have attempted, multiple times to replace Chrome with Firefox. And each time, within a day or two, I am completely unimpressed with FireFox. Pages load way slower, some give me problems loading at all. I have uBlock Origin installed, have disabled it for certain websites and I have noticed improved load time on those sites. I also use TouchVPN, don't really notice much of a difference with the VPN on or off so I don't believe it has anything to do with the latency from the VPN. What am I missing here? I have heard others using Chromium over Chrome. I have used Chromium years ago, wasn't impressed. Should I give it another shot? What browser do you use? I use bitwarden for my password manager, love it as I can have it on all my systems. I do not like Chrome because of the privacy sharing obviously, that is the main reason I am trying to get away from it but at the expense of significant performance? I mean going from instant load times to sometimes 10-15 seconds to load a page, what is this 1999? Suggestions if possible would be great! Thank you!

Copy and past shortcuts in the terminal?

I've been using Linux for a fair amount of time, and as such I've learned to use the terminal quite often. However, in all my 7 years I've been using Linux as my daily driver, I never knew that `ctrl + shift + c` copies and `ctrl + shift + v` pastes. Is this something that a lot of people know? Although I'll still use middle click paste more often, I'm so shocked I have not known about these shortcuts.

Is Theora still relevant?

With video formats such as VP8, VP9, and the recently patent free MPEG 2 format, does Theora still have any uses anymore? Does anyone here use it?
