You'd be running features that both Mozilla and Safari consider harmful and will not implement.

Well, that would be my problem, as it is when I'm running (the real) Chrome on macOS, Android, Windows or Linux.

And if I'm not happy with that, maybe I'll switch to Firefox, which doesn't support them while not holding the Web back on many other features and with many unfixed bugs for years, like Apple does with Safari.

That's the advantage of competition, if you're not happy with a product, you can use another one instead.
