They aren't "concerned about privacy", they are "concerned about privacy for the same price". And they are real cheapskates.
Note: for those who lack the knowledge, the "price" of a free product comes as an overall bugs / features ratio, where "bugs" and "features" are respectively defined as any undesirable / desirable behavior in the use case for the software.
I wonder if you deem Firefox buggy or having not enough features?
Using Firefox since it came out and never experienced any troubles.
Never? Are you only browsing Lemmy and Wikipedia?
Seriously, not to take anything away from what is does good, but Firefox is littered with bugs. And most websites seem to be optimised for Chrome these days which makes the Firefox experience a bit less nice.
The only time I see websites break on Firefox is due to Firefox blocking their tracking script and somehow the website doesn't work because of it. In those case, it's not the browser's fault that the website doesn't work without the tracking scripts.
Other people mentioned Google Meet doesn't support background blur in Firefox. Firefox is actually capable to do that in the past few months, but you'll need to spoof your user agent to chrome, so it's not Firefox fault.
