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

    Sort of. I imagine the idea is they only need to test on Chromium-based browsers.

      So often just swapping the user agent from Firefox to Chrome makes these sites work flawlessly. So they’re putting in extra code to detect Firefox and serve a “we don’t support your browser” page when they could just… not. And if a user complains about X, they could say we don’t test on Firefox, try on Chrome.

        Yeah, but by putting up the “we don’t support this” banner, they won’t have to deal with the complaints in the first place.

        It’s also possible they want people to use Chromium for telemetry or other data-collection reasons, not sure.

            Maybe they’re trying to become the new Internet Explorer?
