Na man I have modern 4k cameras, I need a modern browser.. They have literally build chipsets around this and many standards call for h.264 or h.265. That isn't changing.

Mozilla decided over 8 years ago not to support HVEC because of patents..

Core web app compatibility vs ..... "enhanced" ad blocking. MS teams and some other business tools also don't support Firefox but work fine in Chrome and Safari.

It is something the Firefox team needs to work on again. I used Firefox from when it was released until Chrome came out and mopped the floor with it. At the time Firefox became the bloated beast and went through a reset.

Unfortunately trying to have a firm stance on not implementing HVEC when they no longer had the largest market share was a bad move and they seem to be slowly back tracking on that.

Not when you are using an NVR with scrubbing and everything in the web UI. https://frigate.video/

All in all it would be an inconvenient workaround for something that already works seamlessly across Safari, Edge, Chrome etc.

Night, windows only, and needs to be enabled with about: config.. ie it almost has some support maybe. Also doesn't work via webrtc so it doesn't actually help me with the viewing the security cam feeds.

H.265 is the defecto standard on Security cameras, and I am not going to migrate content to AV1 that is already in H.265.

No, HVEC / H.265 codec support so no modern 4K security camera or plex/jellyfin etc high quality video support.

It kills the full version of uBlock but there is a lite version that has fewer functions as well.

But hotmail / outlook.com still exists.. Does netscape mail?

Odd not a single mention of hotmail in there the original web based email service which arguably was the one of the prime options till gmail offered way more storage.

I run Unbound on my opnsense firewall.

guessing you want that codec for a reason

It is the default most widely used codec for devices and video 4K and higher resolution. It is just what nearly all new / modern cameras come with. You don't really get a choice.
