I feel like if a specific browser, ie. Firefox went down this path, it wouldn't take long until websites stopped supporting that browser. It'd take browser wide action to take on big players such as Slack imo.

No, no company is going to choose to see a -5% dip in overall engagement just because they want to fight a web browser.

This is a common error people make. It’s transferring their emotions to inform what some (often companies or countries) should do. In the specific example, it makes no sense for any single website to forgo, say, 5% of revenue to “teach browsers a lesson”, especially since any change would benefit them accrue mostly with their competitors.

Unless a huge number of websites cooperate, they will all think it's useless for them individually to "fight the power".
