From my point of view they should also provide mouse gestures because the WebExtensions work only after DOM is loaded and not having gestures on internal pages is a huge discomfort and user experience dissonance to put it mildly.

What you say about web apps and Chrome you can say about FF with multiprocess on as well. If some page takes too much cpu you can find it in your OS task manager and kill it and you will see which tab crashes (TabData is an usefull addon showing how much memory pages take https://github.com/bobbyrne01/tab-data-firefox (don't sample too often, it slows FF down if it's active and you have dozens of tabs open and sample every few seconds)
I don't know the number of process they will use as default, I configured 128. I regularly use 20-60 tabs with pinned Twitter, Gmail, Reddit, WhatApp and some more ( TabMixPlus with multirow tabs makes it no problem) and it's really nice browsing experience.
I had to restart FF every morning, sometimes multiple times a day and when something crashed the whole browser went down. Now you just reload the crashed tab or plugin - was common few months back and is rare nowadays. It has a warning if some addon is slowing FF down - I hope addon authors will update them but right now I just ignore the warnings because I don't see any subjective slowdown.

I really hate black on white, it has something to do with my eyes and white on black is much more comfortable. Desktop can be set, desktop browsers can be styled using userscripts or addons but mobile hardly.
So I would love to have the option to render light text on dark backgrounds independently of the page CSS on mobile browsers and I don't mean the silly Chrome invert mode that inverts the images as well.
Mobile apps would be better with this especially at night with lights off it is much more comfortable than the white background no matter how much dimming or redshifting you use. Some have dark themes but lot of them don't.

Told HR on the exit interview my middle manager is not providing me any value and I don't want to make profit for his pay and rather found a company that realized enabling fully remote gives them competitive advantage and I can keep this part of the money for myself. They starred at me like I said a blasphemy
Looking back at it with the experience of almost a year I should have done it much earlier.
