> Firefox for Android can already cast video to nearby Chromecast
This is less about Firefox itself casting video, and more about Android providing APIs to Chromecast. It's still Google doing the casting at the Android OS level; Firefox just leverages that.
I know this is a nitpick, but it's important to understand the distinction with a closed protocol like this is that Google is the gatekeeper.
The above linked Firefox addon is: highly unstable, made through painstaking reverse engineering, and has limited support (e.g. no Youtube). It's brilliant, comendable work, but I wonder how sustainable.
