The most annoying one is paying with iDeal

That "dutch" payment system breaks on FireFox, there are others but they aren't significant I do semi regularly run into a issue though (mostly mobile) and the switching to brave fixes that.

I use brave as little as possible, but it's needed sometimes

As someone who uses iDEAL with Firefox all the time, I have never had it break. You might need to check whether there isn't an extension that causes issues or looking into disabling Enhanced privacy mode for iDEAL.

Not sure what bank you're with, but perhaps it's only a issue with my bank. On mobile it doesn't open the banking app when it should when I use FireFox

I recognize that issue. Firefox doesn't forward to an app by default, prompting you instead. However, they often immediately forward you to the play store instead when it does not work immediately (not letting you accept the prompt).

Settings > (Advanced) > Open Links in App (set to always), would make it work (at the cost of every other website also doing so...)

That does sound painful. Thanks for sharing.
