Wants me to use Chrome to open the site.
- austinjp 9y agoWants me to sign into Google, on mobile.
- mlcdf 9y agoSame on desktop.
- slgeorge 9y agoSomeone in Google really has jumped the shark at this point. How we (geeks) knashed our teeth in the 90's when sites were IE only - it's been over a decade since I've seen this - and now GOOGLE is pushing their browser to the exclusion of others. Seriously do I have to start playing with my browser string again!
- jastanton 9y ago> it's been over a decade since I've seen this Apple does this every year in order to stream WWDC. It’s the one time a year I open up safari :)
- pjmlp 9y agoEdge can also understand the video format. It is a different situation, because FF and Chrome would also able to show the stream if their developers used the macOS and Windows media APIs.
- jchw 9y agoIt's not checking your user agent - the banner is a warning, it's not blocking anything. And for good reason, WebComponents support is not stable in Firefox or Edge yet. The page won't work properly, but you can at least view it if you enable WebComponents support in about:config.

- naringas 9y agodoesn't work on firefox... things like these are why I (half-jokingly) think that google is the new "old microsoft", hahha then again, I'm probably gonna stop using firefox soon after some key extensions (which can't be ported to the new API) stop working
- seba_dos1 9y agoTry it anyway. From all the browsers that don't have your key extensions, Firefox 57+ might still be the best option. It's still greatly customizable via userContent.css file, and there's a lot of motion to improve the abilities of WebExtensions. Thanks to that I've brought back vertical tabs on Firefox 57 that now look and work even better than before - something I wouldn't be able to do on Chromium at all.
