While Mozilla deserves some heat for abandoning official support of PWAs, for my use this add-on has filled the role just as well: https://github.com/filips123/PWAsForFirefox

What is the most efficient way to run PWA (Progressive Web Apps), there are many browsers that do it (Chrome, Chromium, Vivaldi, Brave, Edge), which one will be the lightest and less resource usage in a Debian or Fedora? Are there other options apart from the browsers?
There is an extension + companion app to do native-looking PWAs with Firefox, but it requires separate user profiles for each PWA (which means running separate Firefox instances).

Can I download Youtube (WebAPP) with Firefox? Or do I need Google Chrome/Chromium?
Firefox does not offer this feature natively so you have to use a 3rd party utility to do it, and even those aren't super obvious. I've used FirefoxPWA in the past and it seems to work alright.

Why doesn't Firefox desktop support PWAs?
They decided to stick their head in the sand on that one for some reason. I use this as a replacement. Here's the link to the extension itself.

Stuck in 'mobile' single column layout when used through Ferdi
I use Ferdi to multiplex my messaging apps and have them all in one place. It's basically a glorified web browser that only opens iframes to specific pages (eg: discord). In this environment Discord has some interesting behavior where the menu bar at the top left is very slow to respond, and despite large window sizes (and refreshing at these large window sizes) the screen always seems to be in a single column layout, never showing the chat messages + channel list at the same time.
