Most sites that “require” Chrome will render and run fine on Firefox. It’s just a matter of setting your user agent to say you’re running Chrome.

- d3nj4l 6y ago> It’s just a matter of setting your user agent to say you’re running Chrome. This is the real clincher - websites discriminating against Firefox often don't know why. I assume it's because they don't want to be liable for using their software on a browser they haven't tested on. Or it's just the good ol' Google search on Firefox mobile thing, i.e. "we'll gimp it for no particular reason!"
- stjohnswarts 6y agoIt may be now, but how long before everyone moves over to GoogleChromeNet rather than the internet and Firefox can't even read the webpage let alone render it.
- dingaling 6y agoFirefox recently removed the facility to set user-agent on a per-site basis. It's only universal now. So if you now want to spoof as Chrome to your bank, you spoof as Chrome to all websites. Rather a foot-gun from Mozilla but on par for their recent choices.

- raxxorrax 6y agoVery true and these sites quickly move to a blacklist in my case. Almost all sites can still be displayed in FF though.
