I used Firefox for the lack of these features. Time to look at an alternative.
You are using Firefox because it does not support PWAs like Chromium does? So what alternatives are left on the table for you? Lynx?
Maybe Ladybird?

#92Every time Mozilla is on here people go crazy. And they wrote their comment using Chrome or some skin. Which they have used for a decade. Because the button on the left seemed off on Firefox compared to Chrome (always something). So fuck Firefox. On hacker news. Crazy.
This time it is justified, because web apps have been working in Chrome since 2015.

Safari / WebKit. It's unironically better than Chrome in nearly every way, except dev tools.
And being proprietary, and only running on one family of operating systems.
Safari is proprietary and runs on one platform, not WebKit. Orion and a couple other browsers run cross platform.

I was referring to Safari here. I'm aware that WebKit is cross-platform, but it has vanishingly small market share if you ignore Safari, and it doesn't provide sufficient competition to browsers based on Chromium/Blink to keep the web from being a monoculture.

Safari has 20% of the market in The US?

Safari doesn't help here because it's proprietary and only runs on one family of OSes. WebKit doesn't have any substantive market share without Safari.

The context of the thread is

Ignoring Safari makes no sense as they are the ones preventing this.
