This article from The Verge[0] cites some support Tweets: - AirBnb[1]: "We'd always recommend that you use Google Chrome to browse the site: we've optimised things for this browser. Thanks." - Seamless[2]: "Safari is not a good browser to use with our website. Google Chrome work better with our website or you can download the app." - DirecTV Now[3] - IDAT solutions[4] (some random thing I found while searching) - Countfire[5] (ditto) Groupon said something similar as well but walked it back. Whatsapp's web app didn't support Firefox initially but does now. Could browse through Web Compat[6] as well, though I'm not sure if this site is more about sites that should work in FF but don't, or Firefox bugs.

Even my university’s enrollment system (HISinOne) complains on Firefox Mobile that it only supports Chrome.

First of all: I agree that this is bad and that these developers should choose portable tech when building these sites. But as of now, Chrome is and has for a long time been the only browser to support: Shadow DOM: https://caniuse.com/#feat=shadowdomv1 https://caniuse.com/#feat=shadowdomv1 Custom elements: https://caniuse.com/#feat=custom-elementsv1 https://caniuse.com/#feat=custom-elementsv1 CSS Paint API: https://caniuse.com/#feat=css-paint-api https://caniuse.com/#feat=css-paint-api
