      Give me examples. I’ve been using Firefox exclusively for over ten years and I can recall one website I’ve had to use chrome on. That was draw.io to get shared drawing through a Google drive to work.

        For me there are certain sites where the site icon doesn’t show up in my bookmarks. While not world shattering, it can be annoying.

      That’s such bullshit. People keep saying SO MANY SITES DONT WORK ON FOREFUX

      with zero examples.

      I see no examples. You’re making a ridiculous claim with no proof and I’m astounded at how many people believe you here.

      This is an especially common problem on Android. I have found many sites whose mobile version simply does not work in Firefox. It’s very frustrating.

        I also feel their number grew in the last year. I’ve recently tried using Mull again (mobile firefox privacy-focused fork) after using Bromite for a year, and it was so unbearable I had to switch back. I’d say I had less websites that worked than ones that did not

          Unfortunately tracker blocking can lead to even more issues as many sites have started relying on it for basic functionality.

        Have you got an example I can test? I switched to Firefox mobile over a year ago and I can’t think of any time I’ve come across a site that didn’t work.

          The most recent issue I had was Birds and Beans “manage subscription” page so I don’t think you can test that without a coffee subscription. But here is a screenshot:

          I’m not sure why it says “nightly” as I’m on the stable version.

            This isn’t Firefoxs fault though, is it? Just a bad Website putting arbitrary restrictions in place

              Not Firefox’s fault at all. Just a website not following web standards.

      That was Internet Explorer 20 years ago and look where we are now.

      I personally can’t remember the last time I had issues with a site on Firefox in the last few years since I switched.

        Discord and spotify web versions don’t work on Firefox for me. On discord in can’t connect to a call and Spotify doesn’t play songs or it takes a long time after pressing play for the song to start playing.
