I recently did the switch, pretty similar in terms of experience. Only thing I can point out about firefox is that chrome's page translator is faster and more efficient. I'm using the Google translate extension, if someone knows off a better one.

I would love to and have tried. But I've found too many times that Firefox just doesn't work for some sites. And unfortunately some of those sites are needed for my work.
I might consider it if they ever implement a modern sidebar like the rest of the others.
Like sidebery? Just install one you like from the addons
You getting fked here or there. So don't think it matters that much.
I used chrome for less then 1 day ..it always sucked
Alright. Then please tell me a way to circumvent site compatibility enforcement and I will gladly ditch any chrome-related browsers (that most sites are enforcing to use it nowadays) for the beloved fox on fire.
-EDIT And what do you have to say about this? https://youtu.be/_JNg4Ox2Hvc?t=512 .Its a very recent video and has some interesting takes about firefox.

The me from 6months back would be onboard with this idea, I don't really recommend firefox anymore.
It's a bloated mess run by a very questionable corp. I had to move to PaleMoon, it's the only acceptable browser for me now.
Here are some links for your reading pleasure...

How to choose a browser for your daily use?
How well does pale moon perform isolation between domains? Or does it at all?
It seems like often the main problem with the more minimal smaller browsers is they lack features to protect your privacy from websites you visit.

On a Windows machine absolutely. On MacOS, why not trust safari? The battery management for Safari is fantastic.

I recommend Chromium Ungoogled if you can't let go of the Chromium ecosystem for some reason. It's an open source fork of Chromium and puts pretty much all the power in the users' hands, so much so that to get certain features to even work you have to configure it. It is also fully compatible with the Chrome app store, if you want it to be.

I only ever tried Chrome on school computers but it was useless, always kept crashing.
