The lack of HVEC/h.265 support is kind of a deal breaker. I need it to view h.265 security cameras and the occasional movie streamed via browser.

Ad block lite does a good enough job without me changing to be honest, gain the point being is that there are more problems with my using Firefox as a primary browser than ad blocking benefits.
Nice try, Satya
Cool thing is you can run multiple browsers. So just use Chrome for your cameras and Firefox for everything else.
Why would I use multiple browsers if I can achieve nearly everything in one? I would my much rather use Edge or Safari for everything than Firefox plus another browser.
Because Edge has also moved to Manifest V3 and Safari uses WebKit which doesn’t have the same degree of blocking. I mean, you do you, enjoy your ads.
True, but the other argument is just try adblock lite, it works fine… It isn’t as powerful but I would rather have a fully functional daily browser than one with lesser video playback and conferencing functions.
Can’t you just use chrome for the camera feeds and Firefox (or something else) for everything else?

Use Chromium for the security cameras, and use something sensible for all your normal browsing usage?

I guess, but the comment is a direct assertion against Firefox growing from this change. You sort of prove my point by suggestion another sub variant of the chrome ecosystem.

Well I’m guessing you want that codec for a reason, but I would just use something I can actually use in Firefox.

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.
