It is essential to stop using Chrome. Under the pretense of saving users from third-party spyware, Google is creating an ecosystem in which Chrome itself is the spyware. (mastodon.world)

I have to restart it once or twice each day as it refuses to play videos or audio after a while. I know it's not a settings or add-on issue, and I searched everywhere for an explanation. It fucking sucks. I'm this close to going back to Chrome.

If you're the only one who has that issue, or it's very uncommon, then it's more likely a software or hardware configuration issue or some corruption on your systems part.

Just saying this, when I used to run windows, weird bugs like that as a cue to do a complete reinstall of windows. Usually would fix every problem I'd been having with every app to date.

Even now deleting everything associated to Firefox and reinstalling the app would probably fix it. The other thing to do is to keep an eye on the behaviour of your browser after installing extensions. Sometimes extensions themselves can cause weird problems.
