According to recent user reports, uBlock Origin is quickly disappearing from the Chrome Web Store. The official page for the ad-blocking extension now states that it is unavailable because it doesn’t comply with Chrome’s “best practices” for add-ons. However, we can confirm that the page is still accessible from our EU Windows client.

Problem solved, except for the sites that still refuse to work properly with established web standards.
for most of these, using an extension to pretend you are using chrome fixes the “problem”
… Which would sadly help to skew browser-usage-statistics to the dark side.
One up vote isn’t enough
I’ll sell you a few hundred upvotes from my bot farm

yes, i use mostly ff but still i keep chrome. Maybe ill install brave or vivaldii for the chrome engine purpose only
Vivaldi is a good secondary browser imo
You could even take it up a notch and use something that is stronger like Librewolf and Mull
I like Vivaldi. Best of both worlds: no Google bullshit, like Firefox, combined with the compatibility of WebKit.
Man… I switched a while back. Shits wild how many sites don’t work correctly
Edit: my wife sends me tiktok videos which doesn’t work and then a random smattering of redirects.
Some websites will tell you FF is not a supported webbrowser, this is BS more often than not. You can circumvent this by changing your User-Agent: User-Agent Switcher - addons.mozilla.org
Microsoft Teams comes up with an unknown error on Firefox, which gets magically fixed when changing user agent…
I have not really found any…
But also, if you find sites that won’t work in Firefox, keep using them with Firefox and get others to do the same, then start complaining to the company running the site.
I did email one site that had a message that it only worked with chrome, I said that switching my user agent fixed the “issue” and the site seemed to work with no issues on FF.
A few months later, no more warning.
I edited my initial comment.
But it’s tiktok that my wife sends me and redirects. Which in absolutely not going to complain to tiktok because fuck that noise. IDC enough about that mess.
The redirects are annoying… But I just work around that in most cases
So you blame Firefox for Tiktok being shit?
Nope. Never said that. Tiktok not working is stupid… but it’s not firefoxes fault.
Ok, then I misenterpreted your comment, sorry about that.
All good! Have a great day
I’ve only found a couple of sites that don’t work. They need the Web Serial API, which the Firefox devs don’t want to implement.

Which ones? I’ve used Firefox and Vivaldi (which is Chromium-based) interchangeably for the last couple of years, and I can’t remember noticing any difference in their ability to handle sites. The main difference I’ve noticed is that Firefox renders fonts more nicely in Linux.
