I know I can spoof my useragent, it’s just ridiculous that such a massive app doesn’t support an equally massive browser.

      You are supposed to do feature detection, not user agent detection since it is easily spoofed, isn’t realiable, & doesn’t account for literally all the alternative UAs that can support it. This is bad/lazy practice.

      Fx doesn’t always have all the features you need, but often it usually does & where I have seen this as being deployed is management saying it isn’t worth the effort to support. Just having one person on the team running Fx is usually enough to catch the game-breaking bugs.

        FYI navigator.platform and friends will still return Linux, even in Tor Browser… so it’s still trivially easy to detect your OS, Browser etc. and block that even without the user agent.

    Have I ever told you the story of Darth Microsoft Teams? Only Chrome and Edge. Some limited stuff works in Firefox, but it’s flaky at best.

      On desktop (which is what the website in question is mostly loaded in) is 6,6%. Still isnt huge but definitely more significant.

      Wow Firefox just barely beats out Samsung internet and opera???

      I knew chrome had the majority but I didn’t know even edge was above Firefox in market share.

      There’s like 30 people at the company I work for. 8 of them use Firefox only, about 10 of them use Firefox half of the time when chrome breaks or hogs every resource possible.

        REMINDER: These market share figures are self reported based on browser user agents. For over a decade now, Firefox requires you to opt into this reporting. Its true that Firefox has been slipping in market share, and that things can be rather gloomy, but they’re not as doomed as its widely reported. The big driver of declining market share for Firefox these days is CTOs telling their engineering directors to not check Firefox compatibility because they perceive it as wasted time for 6.6% of people. The easiest way to combat Google Chrome’s hegemony is to show friends and family that actually most of the internet works on Firefox despite what you’ve been told, and that also Firefox isn’t somehow outdated

      But it’s the fourth most popular browser according to your chart. Considering there’s probably 2 billion browser users, that’s something in the ballpark of 40 million users. 20 if you say 1 billion.

    I would simply not use the service. Capitalism says good services are rewarded for being good, the inverse would be they dont get to make money off of you for a bad service

    I just want to say, this is less bad than websites requiring that you use internet explorer.

    Those were dark days.

        Oh yeah, I’m not saying it’s good, just less bad.

        Now instead of being crammed into a single option, you get the “choice” of several (probably equally bad) options.

        Honestly, everything should just conform to standards, and it’s up to the browser to support those standards. If your browser doesn’t support it, well, good luck.

        Not this bullshit of “your browser isn’t compatible with this website”. Fuck you and the horse you rode in on.

    It actually works just fine if you change your user agent. BTW Snapchat likes to break support for Firefox or re-enable support all the time. Don’t know what their issue is but whatever.

      Doesn’t for me for some reason… I change to chrome on windows and just get an “Oops something went wrong…” I think it might be because I forgot my password and tried like 10 of them so it locked me out, however.
