I hate that everyone just develops for chromium only

This site works fine in safari/mobile safari, it is not ‘chromium only’

WebKit and its derivatives then.

I tried it with FIrefox 127 (production) and it worked just fine for me even though there is a huge banner on the top.

Mozilla refuses to implement some really cool standards.

That, and their shitty management shakes my faith in Firefox

They're not necessarily standards. I clicked on the first negative one and it said draft.

One browser vendor proposing things other vendor NAKing it makes it a vendor-specific feature. Like IE had its own features.

Yeah but we’re trying to fight against browser engine superiority, aren’t we?

I hate using chrome, but I’m forced to with any application that uses we busb/web serial or Bluetooth.

But that's basically complaining that firefox doesn't just blindly adopt whatever google proposes. A lot of the concerns are about security and privacy, the thing that mozilla is praised for doing better than google.

And no, you're not forced to use google. You can make native applications when it's necessary to use privileged interfaces.

That's a fair argument, but IMO Mozilla is dogmatic to a point it'll be detrimental to them long-term.

A shame. They used to be the free (freedom) option.-

You prefer the management of Chromium, which makes billions a year from invading your privacy and force feeding you advertising, while also ruining the internet ecosystem?

Yes, me lightly criticizing Mozilla means that I endorse Google. Fuck off
