Texas’s franchise tax payment pages did not work on Firefox. Boy Scout certification pages did not work on Firefox. My kids’ baseball registration pages did not work on Firefox. As a front end dev, it seemed really hard to get things to NOT work on Firefox and still work on Chrome.</text></comment>

I suspect this sort of thing might be enough to make some people switch.&lt;p&gt;And I have had a few experiences with sites not loading properly in the last few months. Try windy.com for example: on FF 90 with no extensions enabled and tracking protection on &amp;#x27;balanced&amp;#x27; I get blue and yellow banding on the map, and the wind gusts graphics fail to load properly. I have reported a few of these instances in the past, but a lot of the time I&amp;#x27;d rather just switch to chromium temporarily and continue with what I&amp;#x27;m doing.&lt;p&gt;[0] &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.cnet.com&amp;#x2F;tech&amp;#x2F;services-and-software&amp;#x2F;mozilla-exec-says-google-slowed-youtube-down-on-non-chrome-browsers&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.cnet.com&amp;#x2F;tech&amp;#x2F;services-and-software&amp;#x2F;mozilla-exec...&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>
