Is there a deal between Google and Cloudflare to make non-Chrome browsers harder to use? The pressure to use Chrome keeps increasing, and the amount of ad filtering you can do in Chrome keeps decreasing.

- jjice 5mo agoI assume it's business people finding it to be a better "bang for their buck" implementation time-wise or lazy developers who don't use Firefox for their testing phase. I've seen it so many times. At a previous company, I was the only person using Firefox daily and I would catch bugs a few times a year during PRs for things that worked fine in Chrome, but not in Firefox. Oftentimes the suggestion was just to leave it because "who uses Firefox?"
