As a Firefox and Linux user, I do see that problem.

Hardware video acceleration is fine now, and apparently has been for some time.

But e.g. Google Meet plainly refuses to blur the video call background when run on Firefox. It happily does that when running in Chromium.

Have you tried changing user-agent header or similar? I'm not familiar with your specific example but have encountered plenty of sites which complain about "not supported" but work fine when UA header is the "right" one.

I have, and it did not work last few times :(

As a Firefox on Linux user I also see a problem. It isn't that uncommon to see a feature drop on windows and mac before linux.

And for a long time, there has been an issue where if you update Firefox with a linux package manager, you have to restart the whole browser, or the browser stops working. That isn't a problem on windows or mac (usually). And it isn't something you have to deal with with chromium on linux either.

I see that as a benefit. I don’t want features, I want stability

That seems rather like a Google dark pattern where they take advantage of owning both sides of the communication channel to abuse some internal Chrome API that Firefox knows nothing about.

That seems like a Firefox problem, not a Chromium one.

Yes? This is phrased as a disagreement, but the content looks like an agreement?

Not Chromium's, but Google Meet's.
