Microsoft stole my Chrome tabs, and it wants yours, too (www.theverge.com)

Imagine using Chrome in 2024.

I have found a lot of websites over the last few months acting up if I'm using Firefox.

I have chrome for work and if I switch they work flawlessly. It's small things like menus not expanding or elements not loading.

There's a push on unifying browsers.

I've been Firefox and duckduckgo for years and it's getting a bit annoying. Obviously the trade off is worth it I do not want the big tech products but finding good alternatives is getting hard.

DDG has gone downhill in recent years.

Everyone says “problems with websites in Firefox!”

Nobody has examples

Not a very big website, but the service my therapist uses for teletherapy doesn't support anything outside of chromium.

try switching your user agent. it'll likely work fine.

red medical will act up if you don't use a chromium browser.

I don’t want you to post personal stuff but that’s still just “it doesn’t work” with no proof

[–] Silentiea@lemm.ee 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Well, it's a specific example, even if I didn't give any way to test it. Better than just saying "some websites don't work" since I'm actually indicating the particular one that doesn't.

I guess your two options are to trust that I'm acting in good faith when I say it or to assume I might not be and disregard the example. Either way doesn't affect me much; I've already submitted tickets to the service asking for Firefox support, so with any luck it won't even be an issue for too long.
