It is essential to stop using Chrome. Under the pretense of saving users from third-party spyware, Google is creating an ecosystem in which Chrome itself is the spyware. (mastodon.world)

The one feature that I really liked that's still in chromium other than Google cast is still Web Apps.

I like to be able to make a desktop application out of a web page. Firefox has this feature with PRISM a while back. Did it ever come back?

I do believe there is either a flag or an add on that gives you this option again. I haven’t used it in a while so don’t quote me on that.

Found it. It is an add on. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pwas-for-firefox/

The add-on is pretty hacky in my experience. I want native PWA support.

For casting, you can use VLC Media Player.
