Not sure about <blink>, but I sampled a few random sites from their gallery[1] and all of them have <marquee>. <marquee> is deprecated[2] and no longer scrolls in Firefox, but still works in Chrome.

> <marquee> is deprecated

For some reason the Indian government LOVES marquee, to the point where it's almost a hallmark. Looks like marquee...finds a way.

I don’t think Firefox or its ancestor Netscape Navigator ever supported <marquee>. It’s a non-standard tag that IE introduced and was pretty widely despised at the time (as was <blink> but at least text blighted by the latter stays put).
