I honestly can't wait to see how this plays out. Only Chrome, chromium and edge in their pure forms have dedicated to doing this. Most of the Chrome forks have said they're going to fork and keep it running. It's certainly going to give Firefox a shot in the arm, but there's no lack of other competition either.

What I'm scared is publishers taking this as a reason to simply start banning Firefox and other browsers.

Glad I've finally migrated to firefox...
There it is. Firefox and Librewolf will guide us out of this mess.
I use Firefox but when I watch twitch or wherever, I need Google chrome's live caption to see what streamers say.
Firefox please get this feature asap. So I can delete Google chrome for good.

Please just us in using Firefox.
If you use anything Google, you are the product. This has been pretty obvious since the early 2000's, yet people dive right into all the crap they release.

Firefox ftw.
I've actually been using Waterfox lately though because for some reason there's a video codec issue on Firefox that makes YouTube videos not play correctly.

Laughs in Librewolf
Gee, what a shame. Good think I switched to FireFox. Hey, does anyone know how to make chat work on FireFox?
Proprietary software sucks, use an open source browser like Librewolf.

Then it's goodbye Chrome.
I know everyone is doing the "use Firefox" thing, but please remember that Acer alone sold almost a million Chromebooks globally in 2023.
Sure, many of those people probably weren't going to use it anyway, but plenty were. I installed it on my daughter's Chromebook that she was forced to use for school.

I use chromium for one thing, and it's casting live sports to my Chromecast. My plans to implement a HTPC have just been expedited.
