My wife and I use Firefox for banking, Amazon, and other companies. Any site that doesn't work under Firefox, I use Chrome or Microsoft Edge. Looks like I need to switch to Chromium instead?

I think Chrome, Edge, and Brave are all Chromium-based, so you won't need to switch. You can use Chrome Mask on Firefox for such sites: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/chrome-mask/

Does anybody know what has changed in the last few years?
