To be fair, I've been having serious trouble with Firefox. The public version (Rosetta 2) has been freezing up on me every third page load, and the nightly version (ARM compiled) has similar issues. But I'm optimistic that these issues will be resolved soon.

That's a good argument for Firefox not getting a green checkmark. Taking as a given that the site operators have decided to give Firefox a green checkmark, I think my complaint makes sense.

You're not wrong, and I suspect the person who you're replying to understands that, but I think most of us here are probably more interested in the actual performance than whether the author here gave a green checkmark.
I'm using safari until Firefox gets ready. I have pihole so I'm mostly unaffected by ads except for YouTube videos - I was reminded that YouTube had ads!
Safari developer mode is actually not that bad. The only thing that's really awful is the complete lack of (useful) plugins.
I was also able to run my web project without any issues with ARM binary.
The BitWarden extension appears to be completely broken, though I'm not sure if that's an M1 issue or a Big Sur issue, I don't have an Intel Mac to compare. So I'm stuck copy and pasting my passwords from another tab. Blegh.
