With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

Never? Are you only browsing Lemmy and Wikipedia?

Seriously, not to take anything away from what is does good, but Firefox is littered with bugs. And most websites seem to be optimised for Chrome these days which makes the Firefox experience a bit less nice.

The only time I see websites break on Firefox is due to Firefox blocking their tracking script and somehow the website doesn’t work because of it. In those case, it’s not the browser’s fault that the website doesn’t work without the tracking scripts.

Other people mentioned Google Meet doesn’t support background blur in Firefox. Firefox is actually capable to do that in the past few months, but you’ll need to spoof your user agent to chrome, so it’s not Firefox fault.

Links or it didn’t happen. Seriously, I have used FF and only FF for the last 15 years and have had zero showstoppers.
Link me some links that work in chrome and not firefox, I wanna see!

The visual effects (background overlay, animations etc) in Google Meet do not work 😢

Actually it works in Firefox since v112. You’ll need to spoof your user agent to chrome to fool Google Meet into thinking you’re using chrome.

That’s not a firefox bug but a deliberate google roadblock

I’ve had some instances of wondering why a website doesn’t load or does it’s function properly, usually government websites or application forms, and the issue gets resolved once I do it on Chrome or Edge. It’s not a big deal for me, I daily drive Firefox and have Edge installed for those instances.
