What really chaps my ass is when they don't bother to tell you. It always happens when I'm filling out a form and find out that the submit button just doesn't do anything. Then I have to go back through chrome just to fill out the same form a second time.

Worst part is that I get this with the government website in the UK. For me it was a sub menu which was supposed to appear when a certain option was clicked. It wouldn't display the sub menu in Firefox. Had to redo the damn thing in Edge...

Find the user agent of the most recent chrome release and change your user agent in about:config
Don't change it browser-wide because stats trackers will think that Firefox's market share is going down. Use a user agent switching extension and change it only for the sites that need it.

The really irritating part is that tools like Playwright let you end-to-end test your product across the big three (Chromium, Firefox and Webkit). Which, most of the time, means these products that specify "Chrome only" simply aren't E2E testing with modern tools.
The only end-to-end happening in those scenarios is the end-to-end pipeline of "shit in, shit out".

I wonder if it would work if you spoofed your user agent.
it almost always does, lol
Chrome implements features that aren't standards track into their browser, and lazy/oblivious devs use these features to build their products - only to realize wayyy too late it won't work in Safari/Firefox because it uses APIs that are chrome only

You know the answer b
The answer to most questions is money.
Ads = money
Because Google Chrome setups a good framework from the moment you open it to track, collect data, basically free market your internet life. Companies like to work the less possible using the least money, if Google already gives them all that setup for a fee then it's more profitable than having to pay programmers to track you in other browsers.
So they deliberately are saying to your face: "I only let you use my stuff if you enter as naked as possible". They are not even shy about it.
Someone like this only deserves a spit in the face and a domain ban. Basically. They can fuck off.
Notes: Most of what I said is not exactly all the true. Most companies just reuse webpage code that it's only tested form chromium, so they only let you use that. Because they are lazy AF, they don't care about customers, they only care about money.
cheap. easy to admin.
Limited time to build something so you have to pick based on a couple factors, often largest % of users.
It drives me bonkers.
And, unfortunately, when I mention this issue I'm am frequently assured that I am mistaken and that there can be no issue. (paraphrasing).
It's a real problem - I live Firefox (with its standards compliance) but people didn't adhere. And here we are.
Have Chrome installed because Medcert requires it. Even if I agent switch, it still won’t function.
Atleast im not the one paying for Medcert, so w/e
