I guess I view gambling differently cuz... with pot or alcohol, you at least know what you're going to get. And when working through addiction, its a lot more tangible of a thing to deal with.
With gambling, you're pouring money into something you're not even guaranteed to get at all.
And for some reason, Alberta loves to push gambling advertising really heavily.

I get what you’re saying, and agree that the gambling industry is predatory on its face, but isn’t the preference for Firefox over Chromium(amongst tech people on the fediverse) largely driven by the idea that the web should be an open platform with open standards that renders and functions the same on different rendering engines?
True, sticking with foss morals definitely widens appeal and encourages firefoxes growth overall.
I just thought it odd to accommodate for a service/industry that could completely care less, and isn't generally something I thought the open source community would be interested in in the first place?
Maybe i'm wrong
They aren't accommodating the gambling industry. It's a bug fix for a media player issue. The text in the changelog comes from the bug report title. The bug isn't specific to that site, and neither is the fix.
