Screen capture being disabled in private mode on firefox is really reassuring to me.

Preach!
I'm convinced that were it not for Mozilla, microsoft would have prevented google from taking over. We'd be in a shittyworld controlled by the asinine cerification heierarchy of microsoft obfuscation.
MS owned a big chunk of Apple before Safari was a thing and they had crazy drm-ish plans with IE before they got thwacked with the monoploy stick by the feds in the late nineties. Netscape was on the ropes and there was essentially no one left.
I think it's time for Google to be thwacked. Apple too. They're going really anti-consumer in shady ways leading us to a weird new AI/surveillence capitalism led middle ages... Like no new knowledge, education will be towards the new corporate capitalist religion that gets people to serve their lords and noone has money or knowledge but the king and a few of their buddies. They'll grant the shineyist most deluded followers with a meaningless knighthoods that only serve to get that person laid so others will strive to sacrifice for the king so they can win the knighthood lottery and get laid and raisea family in a nice house... Anyway...
It's no good. We gotta skip straight to the next Renaissance where everyone has control over their identity, data and thoughts and can follow their own god in peace and healthy debate. And everone has healthcare and basic needs met and we're all moving towards Star Trek.
Moving towards Star Trek is what made the 90's great... Well, more accurate to say it was the great thing out of the nineties; before the new fascisism riding the 9/11 fear wave and the TSA and before 'enshittification' was a word.
Anyway... What was I sayinf?
Oh yeah Open source all the way!
And one thing that irks is that you can't have a local file be your homepage and new tab page. I want to have all my work related links in a local immutable HTML page and every new tab or every time I open the browser it goes there for me to choose what of 5 links to pick....time sheet, team site, hr site, all the vendors sites etc...npr, my home servers etc. c'mon man! The only way to make it happen is to serve it on a local server that I am not allowed to install, or a server at home that I don't actually want to do.
Host it on Netlify or something similar, it's free.
Extensions are your friend My new tab has all my sites pinned. Have a look at the add-ons I am 99% sure what you want has already been made

I switched on my personal devices (need to use chrome for gsuite integrations at work).
On desktop, it's great and I'm loving it. And kicking myself for not switching back sooner after the massive-years-long-memory-leak was finally fixed a few years back
On mobile, it's mostly great. The privacy focus, ad block support, and plug-in support is a plus. But I realllly want the tab groups that mobile Chrome introduced a while back. That had such a great mobile UX that I've found myself still loading up chrome now and then when I find myself wanting that UX. I looked to see if there were plugins that could make that possible, but was disappointed to see none and let down that it seems impossible with the current tab implementation.
I just need one, being able to change if something in the code is against my interests.
