If you're not a fan of Firefox right now, with the few odd decisions they've been making, try Floorp or Zen. They're quite good forks of Firefox and don't seem to have any of the recent Firefox oddness in them.

is there a way to force dark mode like in chromium? #enable-force-dark has been a life saver for me. I have a TBI and white screens are physically painful. I keep trying to go back to FireFox, but none of the darkmode addons seem to have this kind of always on, no exceptions kind of feature
So, you haven't used the "Dark Reader" extension on Firefox. It has "automatic", "scheduled", "system default" options. Also you can disable or enable dark mode for specific websites.

i have the same issue you have, bright screens are the worst (i hated visiting wikipedia). try this addon in firefox. instead of messing with the colors and the contrast of the page, it rather puts an dark overlay over the entire page, reducing the brightness and preserving the look.

Dark Reader can do this, though it requires a little bit of tinkering.
First you need to tick "Enable on restricted pages" in the Advanced section of Dark Readers settings (in the old design the settings can be found under "More > All Settings").
Then in about:config, all entries in extensions.webextensions.restrictedDomains need to be removed and privacy.resistFingerprinting.block_mozAddonManager needs to be set to "true".
If some of this doesn't work, there's also a GitHub Discussion with different solutions, but what I wrote here should do the trick.
Firefox/Librefix, Vivaldi, Floorp
Well... I know it's chromium, but I have to admit Vivaldi is easily my favorite browser. It's got a bunch of fairly unique features that I just can't live without. It's got tabs within tabs, tab tiling, a whole side car for websites that you can display while working on whatever Web page you need (works great for social media, music, messaging). I don't have a link, but maybe worth checking it out.
tabs within tabs
I use the Firefox "Tab Groups" Extension to get a similar result and I have to agree, it is so nice to keep order
I prefer the Firefox "Tab Groups" Feature actually because I feel it's more comfortable / has a more clear separation AND:
It automatically freezes tabs and integrates with containers (kind of like browser profiles on Chromium but in the same Window)
