Well, at least they aren't outright throwing the functionality in the trash.

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

Pretty sure they can't bundle it. AFAIK the libraries required for it ship with Chrome / Android and it's not an open standard. The hacky weird workarounds are people brute forcing it.

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)
