If you have those one or two very specific websites that just cannot cope with Firefox, just use Chrome for them. They're likely not the ad-filled pages anyway, but rather some specific companies. We've done this for the IE in the past, we can do it today. It really doesn't take that much time. There's only one thing that will fix this situation long term and it's lowering chrome's market share. Don't stick with it and get continuously abused - no, it won't get better, only worse from now on.

Most of those "cannot copes" can be fixed by changing the user agent to that of Chrome. Most sites that refuse to work in other browsers simply don't test on anything but Chrome and don't want the support burden.

  > Most sites that refuse to work in other browsers simply don't test on anything but Chrome Today yes, but that could start to change if most tech people stop using Chrome, which they will if they can't block ads easily. Plus many average semi-tech-savvy people use ad blockers and will kick up a fuss and switch if their browsing becomes suddenly ad-ridden. If Chrome gets a reputation like AOL or something, then it won't be as acceptable for a website to only support Chrome.
