I get what you’re saying, and agree that the gambling industry is predatory on its face, but isn’t the preference for Firefox over Chromium(amongst tech people on the fediverse) largely driven by the idea that the web should be an open platform with open standards that renders and functions the same on different rendering engines?
True, sticking with foss morals definitely widens appeal and encourages firefoxes growth overall.
I just thought it odd to accommodate for a service/industry that could completely care less, and isn’t generally something I thought the open source community would be interested in in the first place?
They aren’t accommodating the gambling industry. It’s a bug fix for a media player issue. The text in the changelog comes from the bug report title. The bug isn’t specific to that site, and neither is the fix.
