Thats great. However in reality most sites don't care about Firefox compatibility so that is an uphill battle.

Personally I switched to Brave, which has basically worked perfectly for me, other than a few sites that didn't handle blocking 3rd party cookies.

As a fellow Brave user I fear for the longterm viability of the browser. They are an ad company at the end of the day, not browser maintainers. They lack the capital and I fear technical ability to maintain a truly separate fork, which may be required in the near future. They were already railroaded into the “no JPEG-XL” decision Google made.

Thats fine, if it stops being useful I will switch to some other non-chrome chrome.

This is FUD. Can you please name specific sites that don't work in firefox? Even all of google's stuff works fine, particularly when seen thorugh the eyes of non-technical people.

I got endless issues opening an app the second time. Didn't happen in Chrome.

As for sites that specifically doesn't care about Firefox, that was in a private talk with another frontend developer, so I can share neither the name or a URL as proof.
