>For item 1, certain sites don't work with Firefox when they do with Chrome. This can happen even in sites of industries that claim to want privacy / decentralisation / anti-monopoly. Some of these are government websites.
People often say this but rarely give examples, do you have some? Explicitly listing the sites would be much better feedback that might actually lead the problems being solved.
- GeckoEidechse 4y agoJust go to about:compat in Firefox and you can see them. Most of them are simple UA locks but some require more advanced logic.
- chironjit 4y agoInteresting, will have a look at this
- chironjit 4y agoI've learnt to sorta live it and workaround it but one egregious example was a passport renewal site for a (non US) country whose image uploading function failed silently on image upload. Repeated the process multiple times for an hour until it occurred to me to just try a chrome-based browser. Worked fine after that. I've run into quite a few crypto-related sites that break in weird ways when interacting with wallets / etc. The relative frequency of these issues on crypto sites are really the most disappointing - so much for decentralisation, anti-monopoly, etc, etc Not keen to name and shame in this thread but my primary worry is that it will drive away more people from Firefox.
