Out of curiosity, what kind of addon would just work in Chrome (not have an alternative in Firefox)?
Comment on Google gets its way, bakes a user-tracking ad platform directly into Chrome

It’s not an addon, it’s extensions for services like klarna and zip that let you pay for things over time. Those 2 for example have apps that I can and do use but if I want to use them to pay for say concert tickets it’s easier to have it all on my my big screen so I can look at whats available and then copy and paste the number into the checkout.
It’s not life or death and I can live without it. It is however the only reason I use chrome on my desktop these days.

Maybe you can checkout Waterfox, a fork of Firefox. I haven’t tried it myself, but apparently they implemented support for extensions from the Chrome and Opera stores. If you have issues getting the install button to appear, I saw a comment saying they had to reduce tracking protection on the Chrome store to get the button to appear.

Like I said, it’s not that big of a deal and I can live without it.

Firefox is working to bring chrome extensions to FF.

That’s good to know. I’m surprised that the 2 I currently have to use chrome for aren’t already on FF. As I said, I should probably send them an email and ask them to launch one for FF.
