Nothing is the matter, and everything sounds like it's working as
intended?

Using any browser with Tor besides Tor Browser is usually a bad idea:

You can read more about all the fixes in Tor Browser here:
https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser/design/

Chrome, Opera, and others all have bugs that allow a website to route
traffic around the configured proxy -- and in some cases allow a website
to bypass VPNs too.

Stay safe out there,
