Did that last thing happen yet?

I use Chrome, with UBO, for YouTube, and Firefox for everything else. If YouTube gives me scary warnings, I clear the cache and cookies. No problems so far.

Chrome has become to enshitified for me: security preferences that take > 9 mouse clicks to fix, annoying popups with questions about speeding up Chrome, and oddly, Google Docs is too glitchy to use (works fine on Firefox).
