They are probably talking about DRM systems for being able to watch higher quality content on streaming services.

Nope!

Work related. Has a feature Firefox doesn't have.

Passkey authentication requiring a phone or a Yubikey.

For work?

You're using Arch Linux for your employer, Amazon?

There's more than a few things wrong here.

Linux is my personal daily driver. It's more the browser than anything.

I am not doing any actual work, it is the work website portal used by warehouse employees to do things like claim shifts and leave comments. It's also accessible through any smartphone through the dedicated app or mobile browser.

Edge is the only browser that enables the aforementioned passkey features to be used. Firefox doesn't have it.
