Agreed, that's critical. That said, I periodically subscribe to all of those, and all of the ones I've tried in the last year on Firefox on Debian, have worked perfectly. If there's any left that still don't, I haven't tried/encountered them.

That's great news and it gives me a lot of hope.

Yeah. It honestly blew me away. I switched my personal laptop to Linux, as one often does, primarily to revive some old hardware.

I thought I was giving up streaming from it, but it's been great.

I tend to run my TVs on non-stadard media devices due to privacy bullshit by vendors, and previously that has meant a lot of Android variant devices.

Looking forward, I'm really looking forward to running my living room TV off of a modified SteamDeck or a Linux media server build that is as close as I can get to one, thanks to the surprisingly good media experience of Firefox on Linux, lately.
