> and the web increasingly doesn’t work on Firefox

I have been using Firefox as my daily driver for years now and I can assure you the web works perfectly fine. I can't remember the last time I came across a website that was even slightly broken on Firefox and worked on Chrome.

I can, but it’s nearly always Google properties that are broken. E.g. the date picker in Google Books search was broken for a month up until a week ago. Oops.[1]

Jitsi has issues with Firefox (https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/issues/4758) preventing it to work as well as in Chrome.

This is not a Firefox issue

It's not a Firefox issue, it's an issue Jitsi has with Firefox which is the context of the parent comment

Yeah this is the sentence which jumped out at me too. Like, what? Across the diversity of new products out there, I've never had any problems with stuff not working on Firefox.

Just to be clear, Firefox is my main browser. Maybe we use different websites/webapps, but I run into more and more “optimized for Chrome” messages every year. There are lots of examples all over this discussion.
