Contrast this with another story on the first page this morning: "Google are deliberately breaking YouTube when it detects you're running Firefox" (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42388983).

Open-source content on the Fediverse will become more critical as corporate oligarchs continue to exert their influence.

That's just a 6 month old reddit post by a random dude. If they're blocking firefox, they're doing it very badly, because I just spent all morning watching football highlight videos running firefox on linux, adblocked, sponsorblocked (https://sponsor.ajay.app/), forging my referer, blocking cookies, with userscripts to unlock private and age-restricted videos, without being logged in.

With my setup, youtube can be broken for months on end. It's running like silk right now.
