Is it worth supporting Firefox?

Agreed. Spend big cash on your UI if you want. I visit most sites in a "Reader Mode" or using the Brave Browser.

User Experience Tip: When I go to a site to read your article, I want to read your article. Not the pop up to subscribe to your newsletter. Not the side bar of related click bait articles. Not the ads you've sprinkled in every other paragraph. If you do this, your UI is already poor & not optimized. That's why people are using other tools to fix your UI.

And not the floating ‘dickbar’ of social media sharing buttons that I have never, since the dawn of Facebook or Twitter, actually used.

And no, I don’t want to install your frakking app. I will NEVER install it, so please stop asking me on every visit.

User-hostile design pervades online media, and they wonder why people use ad blockers. Hell, ad blocking isn’t even enough. Most of the time, I end up manually hiding all the useless clutter on news sites to make them actually usable.

This is so annoying. Especially on sites where I already subscribe.
