Using a Firefox-based browser on desktop GNU/Linux in 2024 makes me a second-class citizen of the web. Where most websites are optimised for Chrome on Android/Linux and Windows, rather than adhering to neutral web standards so browser vendors have to do the same to keep people using their browser.
It reminds me very much of using a Mozilla browser in 2003, when Internet Exploiter was dominant, and most websites were optimised for that.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
