This is a spreadsheet I'd be interested to see. Was this compiled before or after Firefox supported WebExtensions?

This was in late 2015, but WebExtensions support in Firefox is never complete vs. Chrome, and you are ignoring DRM and all the other junk (gmeet screen sharing extension! ChromeCast! the list goes on... Chrome is the new IE, but at least most is open source or free as in beer).
