I'm not defending Google but I think the change is just an admission that the old "Chromecast" branding is outdated. It wouldn't surprise me if less than 5% of users still regularly cast from a desktop browser.
I would do it more often, if firefox would fucking finally add it into the browser.
And no, that weird plugin doesn't count. It's buggy as hell
It's literally the only reason I have chrome installed
How? It's closed sourced tech. Not like Firefox can just add it, they would have to pay Google for it (and that's assuming google would license Firefox for this and remove a competitive advantage from Chrome Browser)
