Not every single website needs to support every single browser. This is a modern convenience, I was doing QA back in the day when we still had to support Internet explorer.
Internet explorer just didn't provide the same experience as Chrome.
You were supporting the tail end of an era that is universally agreed upon as an ecosystem failure. The internet didn't provide a consistent user experience for developers or for users, it generated mountains of legacy baggage, and it was frustrating for everyone.
For example if Firefox decides to add Rust support it doesn't mean every other browser needs to support it.
Just a handful of web experiences are going to be exclusive to Firefox. As is having Chrome as the only browser most people use isn't great for innovation.
Your comment is really relevant in the helium browser discussion. Its so on point.
People want different browsers so that chromium doesn't get to enforce their monopoly on web standards but I mean, its already happening. Like, if something runs on chrome and it doesn't run on firefox and is used by a lot of people...
Effectively firefox is ALSO forced to have those chromium features...
Basically the web standards is held hostage by chromium and we need a very heavy migration of large swathes of people away from chrome to something like firefox and that's whats being advocated I suppose.
I use zen / firefox because I also don't want chromium. I mean, idk if I have a particular reason except the above logic that I shared. honestly, idk to be honest.
You simply can't expect to run Roblox games inside of Chrome
Roblox can't generally be used to file your taxes.
But your visiting user created experiences.
The big problem is it's all controlled by one super company .
There's no reason we can't have an open source browser like which allows you to play various games, or run other sandbox applications. These applications could be programmed in a variety of different languages.
In this scenario, whatever I still need Chrome to handle certain important business, but I can use this alternate browser to engage with tons of other content.
I was actually thinking of creating a roblox alternative or atleast proposing the idea of modifying luanti which is open source to have roblox esque graphics.
So it would be the open source browser which allows you to play various games in some sense.
If you want sandbox applications, there is libriscv created by legendary fwsgonzo which can run on any device or wasm I suppose
