Stumbled over that last week. There is a company where I buy nearly all my computer stuff from, and I'm a customer for more than 20 years.

I wanted to order parts for a high-end PC, but simply could not add the motherboard to the shopping cart. Everything else was already in there. I called them, and they asked me if I used Firefox. And they told me in no uncertain terms that Firefox was dead and would no longer be supported for "safety and security reasons", I should use Chrome or Edge instead.

If their site is too stupid to cope with Firefox, why the heck does it not tell me about this upfront, e.g. when I try to enter an item into the shopping cart?

I've had a few websites tell me to view their website in Chrome. I just leave, because no way am I putting any kind of personal data into a website run by such incompetent people.

I used to be a web developer. Back 8 years ago, you used to have to do a lot of special tricks to make your website look and function the same in all the browsers. Now, you really don't. Unless you're using some really obscure closed source codec or something, websites literally render and function properly without needing any browser specific code fixes.

There's no excuse, unless you're blocking older versions of every browser for security reasons, which is fine, because browsers update automatically these days, and it's very rare for someone to be running a really old version.

Usually the thing about the webpage not working is just codeword for "we have not tested it and we won't". If you really need to access it, there are some extensions that can change your user agent so the page thinks you are in chromium.

This is the one I use.

Chameleon is another good plugin for this

[–] Koordinator_O@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

I use an user agent switcher in those cases. Most of the time it works and I dont have to change the browser.

[–] lieuwex@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

This is not fully true. Recently I had problems with keyboard press event propagation working differently on button elements and CSS scroll snapping behaving differently when new items are appended in the scroll container. Both are not really obscure.

Funnily enough, I can't log into my bank on chrome, but Firefox works just fine.

[–] iInjection@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

That sucks.i am not going to not use Firefox, fuck chrome

[–] ProfezzorDarke@feddit.de 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

LOL I work in IT for a rather large company and we are supposed to use FF because it's actually more secure and is more reliable than chromium browsers.

[–] EricHill78@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I work at home in the health field and the only browser they have us use for everything is chrome. It makes me laugh honestly.

[–] First@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

What's the source for that claim? To my understanding, Firefox first got sandboxed processes for sites in 2021, and only recently this year got features to sandbox the GPU processes as well - playing catch-up by many years to Chrome, and exposing attack vectors for sites to gain access to OS-level API's to meanwhile. And to my understanding, neither are enabled by default on Firefox for Android, because of ongoing compatibility issues for years https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1610822

My take is that Firefox or its' derivatives are better for privacy, while Chromium is better for security, due to the vastly greater development resources.

I had issues with my banking app and a few other sites that use my personal government issued 2 factor auth..

But only in firefox.
