As for passkeys, I have two yubikeys and I've never had any issue using them under Firefox or its derivatives under Arch Linux.

I cannot stand browsers monetizing themselves like this. Especially ones that take open source code and add a little UI change and some useless features and then call it their own (Pretty much all Chromium based browsers are guilty of this in my experience). If I had to use Chromium based something I'd be Ungoogled-Chromium or just the upstream project itself (which I have used for WebUSB stuff in the past to great success). Firefox does this too, but it's all super easy to disable in about:preferences and about:config, and Firefox itself is open source so I can look passed most of it.
