i've been on Firefox in the last 8 years. i don't even know what's going on in Chrome and other browsers lol.

Same... I don't understand the appeal of Chrome. I think they used a new java engine like 10 years ago and beat Firefox in a handful of benchmarks, and then Firefox conclusively and irreconcilably trounced Chrome a few months later, never letting up a bit.

I remember when they released Firefox Quantum. Too many tabs was never a problem again.

I mean I tried to download the official minecraft client for debian and was not able to on Firefox.

Microsoft disabled the site on non Chrome browser

This sounded weird to me, so I just tried it. Running Firefox on Kubuntu, I just downloaded it with one click from here.

Well didn't work for me on debian

Are you sure? I just tested and after logging in, the option to download the launcher was there (popos/firefox).

Maybe my adblocker is the issue

Just tried it myself and it doesn't have any issues at all. It seems like it might be an issue with something else on your end.

Though honestly I'd strongly recommend against using the Official launcher as it has been known to introduce bugs and in general has poorer support for mods. I prefer the MultiMC forks like Prism, which don't have the bugs the official one does.

I wanted sth that is updated by my system and the flatpak I found logged me in as a unsecure user or I had to login at each launch

user agent switching is fortunately not too difficult to do.
