I guess guys don’t see half the Lemmy posts I do with users complaining they can’t download a piece of software like Adobe because Adobe tells them Firefox isn’t supported.
I love how Lemmy users live in this small logical fallacy bubble of, “well I don’t have it happen to me so therefore you must be the outlier instead.”
I don’t know about the Adobe case because I don’t use Adobe web services. But it certainly could be Firefox’s fault. For a long time I was a regular heavy user of a site that made extensive use of a particular CSS property that just was not implemented on Firefox. For years it just couldn’t do the necessary behaviour for that site to work.
I don’t use the site anymore, and it looks like Firefox has eventually gotten around to implementing it so it might work. But the point stands that a site not supporting Firefox could be Firefox’s fault.
Personally, I’m of the opinion that a unified renderer is a good thing. Having all browsers be chromium based would make developers’ jobs easier and would in turn provide users with a better experience. The individual projects like Edge, Vivaldi, and Brave can and should choose not to implement shitty things that Google is doing like Manifest V3 and Web Integrity API, without needing to have their own entire rendering engine like Firefox does.
I just use edge/chrome for twitch.tv…
It’s no longer compatible with Firefox for some reason… :(
Edit: twitch does work, I meant the login doesn’t. Sorry I was too sleepy to word it correctly.
After pressing login even though user and password are correct I get an error message saying my browser is not compatible.
What happens if you switch the user agent header? Most of these sites that don’t work with Firefox actually do work but are deliberately designing them not to function with Firefox.
For example, I got Bing AI to work by switching it to mimic Edge.
Maybe I that was a wrong choice of words on my end.
Twitch doesn’t let me login. I can watch still.
But if I want to earn drops or something I can’t, because I can’t login. It says my browser is incompatible.
Yeah, that’s my bad. I absolutely didn’t word that right. I was half asleep already ahaha
Twitch does work, but I can’t login. It says my browser is incompatible.
The only reason I watch twitch is for twitch drops (I’m not really into live streams tbh) so that defeats the whole purpose.
I will try doing like someone else said and “spoof” my browser version and such.
That would be great if it worked.
What kinds of obscure websites do you visit

And why? It has nothing to do with Firefox. So here, You are not using Chrome for its pretending superiority, you use it because of sabotage.
Don’t get me wrong, you are totally free to do whatever you want, pal.

Twitch absolutely works with Firefox. I don’t think I’ve accessed twitch from any browser other than Firefox now that I think about it.
