I wouldn’t assume a corporation is a moral entity, Spotify’s only goal is to maximise profit. Maybe it’s a problem of our economic system or regulations around monopolies.

There are talks in the EU with the DMA about bringing this back.
But they speak from a high a position of superiority and rightness.
Yeah, I guess your point stands. But also, it’s 221 mio for Mozilla as a whole. Firefox might again be a fraction of this. While e.g. the Linux foundation has a lower budget, with all the contributed work hours of volunteers / corporations, a fork of Firefox is more realistic than the 500 mio make it out to be.
Cost of development was 221 mio in 2022

Tbh, if you get such a notice, you could also disagree with them and get a lawyer. It’s just that your situation is much more clearly in breach of copyright.
Actually, what is the reason that Firefox seems to be preferred over Chromium? Is it the license? The control Alphabet has over it?
One has to agree that there is a lot more money poured into chromium, the code is more modern and easier embeddable, it is more feature-complete.
Though, it’s good to have two independent browser engines and a non-profit (+for-profit subsidiary) dedicated to a free, open, user-focussed browser.
Realistically, that would be quite an overreaction and the corporation does have valuable knowledge and skill in creating trains. But how great it would be if this were to cause open source code to be a requirement…
There are people profiting from this either by owning the investment firms e.g. through stocks or by working in them in highly paid positions. In a democracy, the majority might be for such a law, but certainly not everyone.
I heard people pirating old Wii games so that they can be emulated. Also, games with way too many DLCs like Sims.
You can file web compatibility bugs on bugzilla.mozilla.org or webcompat.com
There are different ways how bugs are fixed. But someone might reach out to the page itself, find and fix a bug in Firefox or change the web specification if the incompatibility arises from ambiguity around the feature definition.
Firefox can also ship an intervention, basically injecting code into certain websites to fix broken ones.
Some incompatibilities can arise from missing features in Firefox, the web constantly evolves and the Devs sometimes don’t catch up. But bugs might still help, as high compatibility-risk features might be implemented more quickly.

During last year, I watched two series (only murders, Andor) and one movie. Disney+ is convenient and I can share the account with some friends. But at some point, it’s literally cheaper to buy the things I watch directly and then also own them. Set up a Plex instance and it’s also easier to share with friends.
By the contract, you couldn’t say anything detrimental about the game, so such a statement would still be forbidden. Whether such a vague limitation on what a content creator can say would hold up in court is a different thing.
