Why we Forked Firefox and Not Chromium

I use Chrome and Firefox and I've never noticed a problem with youtube. That said, I love how firefox actually prevents youtube from autoplaying (not even the youtube autoplay switch can seem to do that 100% of the time).

Have you tried vimeo? Doesn't work on firefox.

I've been using firefox for years and never had a problem with vimeo; is the vimeo breakage recent?

[edit] picked the first video from "staff picks" on vimeo and it worked fine in FF:

Hmm, I just got a Vimeo video to play in FF Dev, but I had to solve two recaptchas to get there (probably because I am coming from my VPN endpoint, not just because they want to torture FF users).

[right click] -> Open With -> mpv

(If your desktop environment supports drag and drop, you can also drag and drop vimeo or youtube URLs into mpv.)
