That's simply incorrect. I've used a few and many of them don't load webpages properly. We can argue about who's to blame for that but at the end of the day they don't work the way any Chromium browsers would.
I've never had any such issues.
Ah. So then these issues don't exist or what?
I'm not saying they don't exist, just that I have never personally experienced them. The only issues I've ever really experienced are with DRM-ridden websites which you should avoid using anyway.
I have come across web pages in the past that refuse to load if the user agent isn’t chrome/edge
I haven't encountered this issue. And Ungoogled Chromium is always an option.
That would run the risk of the user agent displaying as chromium. So you would still need to change the user agent, which I’m not sure why you wouldn’t do that to begin with
