In OP's first post they were talking like it was generally accepted wisdom that a lot of web sites just don't work with Debian, so I did reply to correct that, as that is not my experience. The rest of OP's issues I did not comment on as it seems like it's going to be really difficult to get to the bottom of this. The other times I have seen things like this have been when assets like javascript and CSS from remote URLs have been blocked by my browser for whatever reason. So, if OP is using things like pihole or adblockers that can happen. If there is some reason why their Debian machine can't reach some hosts that their Windows one can then that can happen. It is likely that the debug console of Firefox (for example) would list remote assets that have been blocked by the browser or failed to download, but I am not up to talking OP through that. Anyway, as I think we all mostly agree, there is some misconfiguration going on here that is causing OP's web browsing experience on Debian to be compromised.
