I'm not loyal to a browser, I'm loyal to features. If Chrome supported ad block on mobile and FF stopped, I'd switch overnight

Which is exactly the way it should be. And it's a godsend that firefox supports uBlock in mobile.

Definitely, YT background play and ad block have been a lifesaver on car rides

Libretube is also a fine option. Available on F-droid

Libretube is definitely the better option if you don't use a VPN but still want to hide your IP from Google, since it uses Piped to proxy everything

From me it would need more. Chrome has more (mostly privacy related) disadvantages compared to Firefox than that

You don't care about the many other ways that not using and supporting Chromium is better, ie. not having Google's new invasive advertising system?

I'm currently using Samsung Internet with content blockers. Firefox on my Android phone has micro stutters that are driving me crazy. The only browser that doesn't have that weird Android scrolling micro stutters are Samsung Internet, weirdly. So I've been using it for years even on non Samsung phones.
