People need to be spamming regulators, not just the compact. All the compact can do is "work with" websites that don't fuction with Firefox. They have zero authority. Attempting to appeal to these websites, Adobe especially, based on the ideals of the open web is laughable.
We have to accept that companies like Adobe aren't cooporating with Firefox, not because they can't be bothered to support it, but becasue it is hostile to their monitization and therefore deliberatly ignored. I'm also going to put on my tinfoil hat here and guess Microsoft is behind the scenes whispering into every ear they can reach about how forcing all coorporate web use into the Edge browser is more "secure and manageable".
This is something that needs regulatory intervention. Appealing to the corporate framers of the "new" internet is hopeless.
