Something works correctly in PM and does not in Firefox - lmfao

Ok this is certainly a first for me.
I'm looking for a new HBA card for the home server, I check Ebay every few days for something interesting, and today I noticed the item location checkboxes didn't work in FF (I guess I use Ebay in FF is because it was slow in PM or something, no idea anymore). Just for kicks, I tried in PM, and WTF? - the page refreshed and the filter was applied. This almost sent me under the table while laughing hysterically 😂

There are many German websites which throw up paywalls with tracking cookies as an alternative. Simply blocking all cookies and scripts on these sites frees them for ordinary use. I have an easy time on these sites, but only here, in my regular browser.

Impossible! I keep encountering broken shit left and right.

The problem with Pale Moon and some other browsers, they're just invisible, not on any compatibility chart as far as I know.

I have one positive anecdote, the web app at work, at least one specific page, it just loves freezing when you work on it on Chromium. Something I haven't seen with Pale Moon (or Firefox).

This is a dumb subject line for a thread - there are many things that work correctly in Pale Moon and not in Firefox. Try rendering any jpeg-xl in Firefox and let us know how it works out for you. Go to the Firefox or Chrome support sites - you'll find thousands if not millions of web compatibility issues. Pale Moon sticking to established web standards is a very good thing.

Is JPEG XL used anywhere in a way that lack of support for this specific format would be a problem in practice? There are web extensions for handling JPEG XL.

Not really, but that's because Chrome hasn't been pushing it. I hate that that is the way the market is right now because JPEG-XL is genuinely a better format (and that's coming from someone who has been in computer graphics and technicalities around it for decades) and should be adopted widely... But instead bigger players push for things like PIK and AVIF that are in that grey area of "maybe it can be marketed as better but at best it's a grey area or marginal".
So unless and until Google decides that they are going to support it, it'll likely not end up being used in a way on sites that would break access.

Could be placebo, but I am noticing/sensing Firefox is having more compatibility woes lately. Nothing dramatic, but I've seen it. Possible explanations IMO:

1. Trying to be like Chrome but also desperately trying to maintain some sort of identity (long lost, that one). Both attempts fail.

2. More and more, the Web (or is it the Mobile Web...) simply only cares for Chrome, and Firefox is becoming an afterthought (market share bites FF).
