How Mozilla Ruined Firefox (invidious.lunar.icu)

Firefox used to be on top of the world with almost a third of all internet users using Firefox. These days, they make up a pitiful 2.7% of the market share. What happened? In this video, I want to show how Mozilla's terrible management and decisions have brought this once beloved browser down.

Didn't Chromium drop support for it?

It never supported it, afaik. They were talking about implementing it, but the creator of webp used his sway to shut it down. Firefox followed suit stating the same dumbass reason: "Not enough industry interest". There was plenty of industry interest, it was just Google didn't want a competitor to WebP. Safari announced they would implement JXL support and now we're here. I hope Google and Mozilla get the message.
