Great, and now websites are actively incentivized to not support Firefox, because they'll know Firefox users generate zero advertising revenue by default.

Why would a site have to explicitly support Firefox? The HTML that works on Chrome should work equally well in other browsers. This is the whole point of web standards.
In theory, sure. Realistically, websites of any complexity at all need to be tested in different browser engines. There's almost always something that works in one browser but not another.
