Guide on what typically would be compatible chrome extensions

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I struggle to find a chrome extension that I can add and is not on the Firefox Extension Store. I just really can't see myself finding a useful extension that can't be found anywhere else.

Describe the solution you'd like Somewhere in the Waterfox Help page, there should be a whole section dedicated to "finding a working chrome extension" and it should talk about why some extensions are incompatible, what makes the extension compatible and more information surrounding the topic.

Describe alternatives you've considered Maybe when you add a chrome extension and fail to actually add it because it's either apparently "corrupt" or "incompatible", have an option which says "more info" and have a whole page explain why it doesn't work, and what the user can do in the future when finding working chrome extensions. Or just simply explaining why some extensions don't work.

Additional context This 1 feature is really what I'd like to see work well on Waterfox. I don't like chromium based browsers, I find gecko as a great alternative, it's not that it is unique, but it is that it's an engine I trust and it seems to be faster and more efficient with the day to day activities I use this.

I recently have switched from Firefox to Waterfox, and I the only real benefit from this was a slight performance boost, it is noticeable, but that's about it. The chrome extension thing was something I was excited about, but I was extremely disappointed with the amount of extensions I can actually add.
