    99% of sites only need to know your screen aspect ratio and maybe available input devices, can't think of a good reason to share anything else

    The vast majority of people would have no clue what to download.

    If I was a Firefox dev I'd start looking into building in user agent spoofing right into the browser.

    It already opens Facebook pages in a special isolated tab. They could have apple.com open in it's own special "safari" tab. I wonder if there's anything preventing them from doing that. I guess it could be bad because it would make their market share appear even smaller.

    Actually, the top one is the logo of the chromium browser engine, but the bottom one is not the logo of the Gecko browser engine. That's the logo of SpiderMonkey, Firefox's Javascript engine (Chromium uses V8).

    This is the logo for Gecko: Gecko logo

    It's especially moronic that Cloudflare thinks everyone using Tor is trying to DDOS every site.

    Do you know how fucking slow Tor is? You couldn't DDOS an Arduino with it.

    Do we, as an industry, have such short attention span, that we forgot how Microsoft abused their monopoly in the 1990s to force everyone to use Internet Explorer? Now that Google is doing the exact same thing, nobody seems to mind.

    Go to https://business.apple.com/#/main/users

    Reset your user agent string. It will tell you that your browser is unsupported. Switch your user string to chrome and everything will function as expected.

    IT people probably run into more problems with non-chromium browsers.

    Edit: it has to be visited on a desktop regardless. ABM does not like mobile browsers.

    IT person here, Firefox works fine for everything that matters.

    That's highly subjective. At our org there's a reason our baseline deployment for workstation images comes with both Chrome and Firefox. We have thousands of users across dozens of specialties (HR, logistics, scientists, engineers, etc) and they all have a multitude of web apps they use day to day. Some of those don't like Chrome or Firefox. Hell, we even had to support god damn IE11 for way too long before Microsoft thankfully forced its death by discontinuing security support (our cybersecurity people ban anything that doesn't have active vendor support with very few exceptions).

    It's "how it feels" or "what it feels like", not "how it feels like"

    my company give choice to use Firefox and Chrome and it is mandatory to install those browsers on those computers. But, 95% use Chrome.

    Brave isn't doing much better with captchas lately due to having adblocking built in, google is just on a crusade against anyone blocking stuff.

    It's so absurd. It feels like half of the websites out there actively don't want me to visit them.
