I haven't used Firefox for a while; Chrome is fast an dependable with JAWS and doubtless with NVDA.  I only wish it had a reader option.

I've found that heading navigation in particular with NVDA can be flakey, and that very large web pages load very very slowly. Not sure what the video says, since there are no captions. It seems like Chrome is now also a viable option. The good news about ESR is that it will work with webvisum still.

A system with super-fast specs, an SSD and lots of RAM will present some odd focus management issues but things may function surprisingly well. Slower machines with lower specs may not perform as well. I haven't seen the entire video but I'm wondering where Edge comes into play here.
