Why would I need an excuse? I'm free to use whatever I want.

No one is taking away your freedom. They're pointing out you're not helping by making the choice you've made. You're free to choose not to help.

My games, which are not using any special Chrome features, work horribly on Firefox and not at all on Safari. Until that is fixed no amount of bullying will make me switch. Not that it's a successful tactic to begin with.

People clearly care since that's the whole point of this thread. Sounds like you are the one who should grow up.

Did you try to fill bugs in Firefox's bug tracker?

I have and actually gotten a couple of them fixed in a timely manner. One was even marked with highest severity so it's not like I'm hallucinating this or doing something wrong. The team clearly cares about fixing performance issues. With that said, it's not always easy to create a minimum working example reproducing some things (general low fps, stuttering, unstable rendering, sudden black screens).

Thank you for supporting Firefox then.

Do they work in Brave? Still Blink, but removes Google's direct control of your browser and many of its misfeatures/malware.

You're free to use Chrome and work in ad tech. It's a free world.

But the intended audience of my comment is the vast majority of people that dislike the direction Google is taking Chrome and the web at large, and do absolutely no effort for, quite frankly, inane reasons.

The vast majority of people don’t care, even if you restrict the population to developers

Did you miss the first part of that sentence?
