> I do wonder what's so wrong with FF that nobody wants to base their fork on it.

It's compatibility. I use Firefox now it less exclusively, and sometimes I'll need to go on some "normie" website to book a flight or something and the Continue button will be broken or some shit. Seems like lots of web devs will just make the sure works in Chrome and call it a day.

I have ungoogled chromium installed alongside firefox for exactly this reason. A lot of mainstream sites clearly do not care about supporting other engines.


I find that faking a Chrome User-Agent works in half of those cases, YMMV.
