Yeah. I agree with you. New non-tech-savvy person might misunderstand.

However, new user rarely look at the changelog. So I think this wording does not affect much.

And whether this is using equivalents or a compatibility layer, to the average non tech savvy person is irrelevant. They don't care as long as it's the extension they had and it works.

Yes, agree.

Currently the only browser (I know) that has the compatibility layer is the Orion browser by Kagi search engine. It is based on WebKit but expose API for both Firefox and Chromium extensions.

Not total compatibility but FF web extension compatibility is higher in number than Chromium.
