What if your site detect Google Chrome and say it's not supported, then encourage users to download other browser, like Firefox?
Youtube did that other other browsers, so could sites do that to Chrome.
- jonny_eh 7y agoI work on YouTube's front-end and we work very hard to maintain cross-browser compatibility.
- wizzwizz4 7y agoWhat does "cross-browser" mean? Do you test any browsers other than Firefox and Chrome?

It worked just fine if you pretended to be Chrome by changing the user agent. https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/91hbkw/youtube_page_load_is_5x_slower_in_firefox_and/ https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/91hbkw/youtube_pag...
- Redoubts 7y agoI suppose that would be called a fair turnaround.
- near 7y agoFirefox uses Google's Safe Browsing service to flag websites and downloads, so that would not help me. Even if not, it would be a pretty bad idea to tell 70% of visitors trying to download my software to use another browser first.
