There's still breakage in small areas: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1601831 https://github.com/webcompat/web-bugs/issues/25270

IIRC though the main issue with YouTube was a slow polyfill library which has been fixed since they updated to the standardized version of Shadow DOM.

Ah, that's good news then. I am somewhat worried about the Chrome monoculture with Edge going that direction and Chrome marketshare continuing to grow.

Vivaldi reports itself as Chrome now, making Chrome numbers even higher

Firefox will eventually die in 5 to 10 years if the marketshare trend continue. Firefox for Android already has a negligible number of users and as a consequence webmasters stopped to worry about making their mobile websites compatible with the limitations of Firefox.

I would reckon a lot of those statistics are based on analytics rather than polling.

In which case Firefox blocks a lot of trackers so naturally their marketshare appears less than reality.

Adblock plus + uBlock == 6.5 millions of users for Firefox.

While this is not nothing, this should be a few 0.x % of global browser marketshare

Firefox blocks trackers by default, no need for an add-on.

The android market share is a real shame, because Ff on Android is actually pretty darn solid.

YouTube is still unusably slow on Safari.
