Let's be honest here, though. You're not the target market if you're willing to change browsers on philosophical principle.
Principles are fine and dandy until you have to commit suicide to maintain them. Given the good Mozilla does as a going concern, becoming "that one weird browser that can't play your videos" would just result in more people using Chrome and Edge.
This kinda reminds me of the GCC/Clang thing. If I recall right, Clang got a huge influx of attention, in part, due to Stallman's unwillingness to allow GCC to export its AST.
Perhaps we need a rule for this. "The tech community interprets developer obstinance as damage, and routes around it."
