Does YouTube tell Firefox/Safari/Edge users to install Chrome?

• half-kh-hacker 7y ago
  I use Firefox Nightly and I haven't seen an 'install Chrome' banner on YouTube. The use of Shadow DOM v0 is a pretty good push, though. Chrome is way faster to load a YouTube page than FF. I hope they update their version of Polymer soon.

    IDK about your setup, but for me, youtube is using Polymer 3.2.0 since a few weeks already. You can try out by evaluating Polymer.version in the dev console.

  It does for Edge

  On the desktop, going to Google with Edge asks you to “switch to a more secure browser -Chrome”

  Atleast during Login I frequently get the message to install chrome so I can use my security keys and get forced on TOTP. Easily fixed with a UA change and the security keys even work! Who would have thought! And managing your security keys also requires Chrome, if you're on Firefox you also get told it's incompatible, despite being compatible.
