      A quick, non-technical explanation:

      • Google is working toward implementing a new protocol in Google Chrome, “Manifest v3”, that will be intrusive and help enforce Digital Rights Management, as well as stopping ad blockers.
      • Under the guise of this being safe, secure, and to curb bots, Mv3 will require users to become Trusted by using the Chrome browser.
      • Since the majority of users are using Google Chrome, this will heavily influence corporations to adopt this protocol in their service.
      • A Trusted user can access Netflix in the browser. If you’re using Firefox or are an untrusted user, you will not be able to access Netflix in your browser.
      • This protocol will appear one day in some form, and it will greatly shift the internet and force more users into Google’s ecosystem.
      • This will spread to all areas of the internet - Banking web sites, government web sites, healthcare, entertainment, education, etc.
      • The internet will become less “free” over time. More censorship, less rights.
      • Lots of ads can contain malware. Considering that Google allows phishing sites to pay for an ad to appear directly in Google search results, there is no confidence that Mv3 will be safe or secure.

      See my other comments in this Post for more details.

            I don’t know anything else, but I have been using firefox for a while, and I can’t think of any times where a website didn’t work. Seems like a almost perfect drop in replacement for chromium currently, just needs people to do it.

              There are some extensions that are only available for Chrome, but beside that this compatibility issue mostly happens with government sites and stuff like that. Since in their case it’s you who want something from them and not the other way around, they’re free to only check compatibility with something and say that anything else might not work.

              Most of the time I stumbled upon such sites requiring IE, but that era seems to be over by now, fortunately.

                I’m sure there’s a few sites that don’t work on Firefox, but I’ve definitely never ran into one, so its gotta be a very very small issue.

                Regarding extensions, that is an issue I’ve had, but it turns out that some extensions can be ported to Firefox relatively easily. I don’t have a clue how to write browser extension’s, but all I had to do was make a mozilla developer account and you can convert automatically them there. There are certainly some (or most, not sure) that would require someone to manually port to Firefox though.

                All in all, its almost a perfect drop in replacement.
