 Hardware: Surface Go 2 (which has only one USB port, hence hub)
Browser: Firefox, true for multiple versions over the last year
Distro: Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS
Kernel: 5.12.14-surface, with Surface specific hardware mods
X11 configured to use Icewm instead of whatever Ubuntu has as default
Hub is "uni" branded USB-C to 4 x USB3 A ports; IDs as "Generic":

Is this machine having a single USB C port? I heard there are machines capable of outputting video over USB-C.
