Short version: Chromium is significantly more secure, hardened, and sandboxed. Firefox is yet another method of google spying, seeing as how Mozilla is 95% funded by Google, all the telemetry/traffic that goes straight to Mozilla servers. For those that haven't noticed, Mozilla has become more concerned with social agendas than putting out a solid product. They consantly re-arrange, bury, and remove functionality that users want, while failing to implement important security upgrades.
The last straw really should've been when they let a key expire a couple years ago and murdered everyone's addons, but I let them continue to abuse me (despite trying to rely on Falkon as much as possible). But Falkon doesn't work for a number of sites, and I'm not sure how secure or hardened it really is. I just enjoyed that at least they didn't seem to have social agendas, and put out a simple, functional product.
I'm actually not sure why it took me this long to figure it out. For example, GrapheneOS has an article describing why Chromium is the most secure web browser available; this being why they forked it into Vandium - which is the degoogled and hardened browser included with GrapheneOS (another product I highly recommend for the security conscious, and one I highly trust).
There was a time where we couldn't be quite sure if ungoogled-chromium would survive or keep up, but over the years has continued putting out a quality product, and appears to use resources like Vandium to aid with their own releases.
So finally the last straw was last night, trying to integrate my USB microphone into a jailed browser. Falkon Browser was fine and without a hitch (like it tends to be, simple and reliable). But I couldn't tinker or find a way to get FF to recognize the mic. I tried anything I could find (yes I added oss to media.cubeb.backend - something you shouldn't have to do anyways). Ungoogled-chromium; however, sound and microphone functioned immediately with no extra inputs.
I'll leave you with an article discussing in detail all of the reasons why Chromium is a signifcantly more secure browser than Firefox, and it's not even close. https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/firefox-chromium.html
