>But many of us need Chromium/Chrome. It’s the IE of the 2020s, and sometimes Firefox doesn’t quite cut it
I'm aware that this is an unpopular stance in certain circles, but I wouldn't touch Firefox with a pipe wrench. Chromium/Chrome is not the IE of the 2020s, and this kind of delusional statement underlines the actual issue with the state of Chrome in Debian (and generally the linux world): a big share of the people still involved with the respective OS-development are completely out of touch with the actual state of things.
When Mozilla dropped the incident response team a couple of months ago, the backlog of incidents was already in an - from my perspective - inacceptable shape. Don't get me wrong, I'm not against Firefox and the noble ideas it represents. It's just, to be frank, batshit crazy to claim that Chrome is the IE of the two. The opposite is the case, and the situation will worsen dramatically over the course of the next years, if the current trajectory is any indication.
