This is a lovely tool, you can also implement automated builds and deploys using Github Actions to drive web-ext.

Chrome is pushing for manifest v3 and not seeking buy-in from the other web extension standard bearers. Also the new Firefox Mobile has incredibly spotty support for the API. Given these recent events, I worry that the cross-browser nature of this tool will be lost in time. And web extension development in general may be entering a dark age.

Was it ever not in a dark age? The overlap between FF and Chrome extension tech has actually existed for what, two years or so...?

To be clear: Chrome was never part of any WebExtension standard. They do their own thing and WebExtension browsers decide which (if any) changes they want to support.

There will always be Greasemonkey & co.
