Firefox is a much better designed app than Chrome, which never looks or acts like normal apps. It has even intercepted cmd-q now which is super annoying. Which browser works better or is faster, I have no idea, though I've never run into problems with Firefox.

I can understand reasoning behind that. I had to install a Firefox extension that disables cmd-q on macOS because I had closed the whole browser many times by accident (while trying to quickly hit cmd-w). You can still use cmd-q but you have to press it twice in a very short time. Maybe Chrome could do the same.

Firefox uses Ctrl+Shift+Q to quit the entire browser now on Windows and Linux based platforms, presumably because of that reason. You might not need that Firefox extension anymore.

You can disable that in the "Chrome" menu.
