I don’t understand this part:
Waterfox’s governance has allowed it to do something no other fork has (and likely will not do) - trust from other large, imporant third parties which in turn has given Waterfox users access to protected streaming services via Widevine.

Widevine is the defacto standard proprietary technology for DRM-locked content. It’s used by all the major streaming services like Netflix and Disney+. Without it, publishers would not make their content available to those platforms for fear of rampant piracy. I guess Widevine requires some sort of vetted relationship with any browser that wants to use their tech.
