Chromium has better features, but with google announcing its plan to ‘drm the internet’ I 'm not sure if it’d be a good idea.

Why do you need to blur your background?

I’m gonna guess it’s so that people can’t see his background and/or to make the picture look nicer.
The good news is if you have a recent Nvidia GPU you can inject background blur using that on all webcam footage using Nvidia’s Broadcast software.
Lots of reasons. You may not want clients or outside vendors to be looking into your home, which is IMO a sort of intimate thing. I have a client who has a custom, branded background so things look more professional and cohesive - very important in the financial field (or so I’m told). Or maybe your WFH setup is in the kitchen because that’s the only space you had to put it and you don’t want your kids, pets, and spouse ducking into and out of every meeting you have.
That’s part of the fun of working from home though. It lets people see the real you and how you live.
I’m guessing you don’t work in corporate environment or no longer work from home.
There are times when video is expected to be on, but you don’t want to show your room to everyone.
Having said that I can’t think of firefox being able to stream video yet not being able to do this, so likely it is Google’s way to make its competitor look subpar. Probably can be fixed by spoofing user agent. Ironically the most recent change in Chrome will make this very difficult in the future.
