Where were all the commenters when YouTube was silently breaking (old, Trident-based) Edge, Firefox and Safari with user-agent detection completely ignoring actually supported browser capabilities? Somehow they are able to get away with this while other companies don't.
- Someone1234 4y agoCan you link to what you're referring to? Firefox has always worked fine for me on YT, in fact I'm using it right now.
- deely3 4y agoOne example that I personally remember is when Gmail and Youtube is stopped working on Opera browser. But if you customize user agent to any other browser (like Firefox) it suddenly start to work. [1] It happened decade ago tho.. Now Google is practically leader in web standards so there no need to use this practice anymore. 1. https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/comments/e6e7x/google_constantly_blocking_opera/ https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/comments/e6e7x/google_...
