How many does mobile Chrome and Safari support? Last I checked it was zero. This is an example of what I'm trying to say: there are things to critique, but a perspective matters.
This is exactly the problem with the current Firefox direction: It's tries to mimic Chrome with a few differences here and there. Chrome should not be the baseline. Slightly better than chrome does not mean good.
I see that as more convergent behavior rather than explicit intention. What do you specifically want to be different?
Real, meaningful extension support? Like was mentioned upthread?
Safari for MacOS and mobile does have an extension library. Sure, it’s not as good as Chrome or Firefox on the desktop, but there are several extensions available that I use regularly.
Can I setup ublock origin on Safari mobile? (Is it event supported on Safari desktop?)
Thats my main use case for Firefox extensions
No, that’s a level of control that is unfortunately by design not available on Safari. AdGuard is a decent alternative.
It feels like you intentionally missed my point. uBlock is the number one add-on that most people care about (at least in my circles).
Kiwi Is built on chromium and supports pretty much every extension I've tried
