I just want the Manjaro Arm to not fizzle the gui's and run Firefox at speeds faster than 1980s era internet...

Or any desktop distro, even gnome or ubuntu

Falkon just uses Chromiums web engine and strips everything else, they don't use Manifest V3 as they have their own extension system (although that isn't really mature). It comes with a built in adblocker that works fine for browsing, but youtube ads can't be blocked. I recommend Falkon for web browsing, but I wouldn't use it if all you want to do is watch youtube I would use a browser that supports h264ify. For browsers that do use chromiums web extension api there is a version of h264ify, which you will need for hardware acceleration.
