    I use FF as my primary browser on my desktop, laptop, and mobile devices.

    As much as I love and support FF and the Mozilla Foundation, I find that some websites simply need a Chromium-based browser to function properly. It’s frustrating as hell.

    I wonder how many people tried FF, had their favourite site stop working, and then switched back to Chrome.

      Until now I never had issues with Firefox.

      But here in Germany the fanbase of ff ist larger. Maybe that’s why you don’t have problems with most of sites from Europe?!?

        That’s an interesting observation. I’m not sure, since I’m in Canada.

          If you properly use firefox personalised the way you want it, it gives you shitty unusable websites in Europe too. Banking says no, newspapers being buggy to unreadable with certain script blocking or cookie refusal, disable adblock to continue windows etc, it all exists here too. I always try ff. If really needed I open the shitty site in edge and afterwards return to ff… Also public (tax payer funded!) flemish radio and tv for example is completely unusable in ff with proper settings, works “perfect” in edge or chrome. German and Dutch public TV and radio works fine in ff tho.

              hmm, you’re gonna hate it but the reason is “because edge is already there” pre-installed

      I’ve been a long time FF user, and if I encounter a buggy site I just wouldn’t use it. Only problematic site is fucking Teams, and since I can’t just stop using it, I’ll switch to brave for the meeting and right back to FF after.

        That’s perfectly fine for some things, but for most people letting their browser choice dictate what sites they use is backwards
