I read this kind of comment all the time, and it's something I almost never experience.

The only feature that I want in Firefox that I need to use Chromium for is Web Bluetooth, and that's because I use a Bangle.js smartwatch, which is even more niche than using Firefox is.

It's very hard for me to understand why so many people think they routinely encounter websites that don't work in Firefox.

I agree, fortunately that's somewhat rare. It still stings if you come across a broken site that you need to use frequently. I'm concerned that Google's "extend" phase is just ramping up, with incompetent devteams confusing "Chrome has a large market share" with "it's ok to publish a broken site if it works with Chrome".

In the early days of bloated SPAs, they used to run like absolute shit on Firefox (if they even worked at all).

Now everything runs like shit on every browser so things appear to be more equal.
