- bandergirl 3y ago“Support” means “actively testing and fixing bugs” This news doesn’t mean that it just will stop working in Firefox, it’s just that they don’t test and they don’t care.
- weaksauce 3y agoi have seen websites that actively block you from using them unless you’re on a “supported” browser. it’s kinda nuts
- quectophoton 3y agoExample: Twitch still doesn't let me login from Firefox if I'm on Alpine Linux. It only happens when I try from Alpine Linux, so they might be testing for some musl-specific quirk and denying access just for not being the Firefox from a different distro.
- sitzkrieg 3y agohow old is your firefox? i am almost positive ive used twitch on alpine but it was a while ago
- nostrademons 3y agoBrave is unsupported by a lot of websites, but almost always works (at least if you turn off shields). "Unsupported" = "We don't test or develop with this browser in mind", not "This browser doesn't work." If that browser effectively mimics one that is supported, it usually works fine.
- supertrope 3y agoThis is a customer facing message. People understand brands, they don't understand which browser uses which engine.
