I haven’t noticed a website outright blocking Firefox in a while, in part because Firefox devs are staying on top of it with overriding a lot of site blocks. The issue I run into the most is reduced video quality in Google Meet in Firefox, so I switch to Safari or Chromium when I need to do calls there.

Chromium builds don’t have built-in automatic updates, and they’re missing DRM and some other proprietary components that are important. I’ve seen some community-maintained builds with varying update methods, but they don’t seem as well-supported as relying on Google/Microsoft/Vivaldi/whatever.

I used desktop Linux as my daily driver for years, I am aware it exists.

LibreWolf doesn’t help me with websites that refuse to work properly on Firefox’s engine. I mentioned in the article that Firefox is already my daily web browser, but I’ve been looking for a good backup Chromium browser for that and other reasons.
