    I think this is misleading. They’re offering to match your Chrome extension with an equivalent Firefox extension. But they are not providing an extension compatibility layer to run Chrome extensions.

      I dont think that is misleading. They’re functionally the same extensions made by the same authors, if you trust one you trust the other.

      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.
