I pretty much instantly lose respect for people who design sites to only support specific browsers. With the exception of Firefox, it's all Chromium anyway so they don't really need to worry about it. This isn't like when Internet Explorer was a thing and broke web pages.

You can try with an extension that changes the user agent of your browser; if you use the one from either firefox or chrome for android it should work. Usually its the only thing checked by sites when identifing browsers for non telemetry reasons; if the problem persists I'm not sure what it could be
Mulls user agent is firefox
It is Firefox ESR
No its not, at least for me:
Mozilla/5.0 (Android 10; Mobile; rv:122.0) Gecko/122.0 Firefox/122.0
Tried and didn't work..
Install a user-agent switcher extension and pretent to be firefox or whatever. It should work.
I tried this a million different which ways a few months ago. Couldn't get Duolingo to accept it. Gave up and haven't been back since
Maybe it wants some opengl or webrtc, which are disabled by default in mull and bromite?
what on gods sake are they doing so special that requires those browsers explicitly
I'm guessing they don't want to test on any other browsers, so it's easier just to say that those aren't supported. Most likely it works on others, you just need to spoof the agent.
This is definitely the case, but I wonder why companies don't add a button, such as "Access website without support", that would get you to the site while clearly telling you that any technical problems (of which, in 99% of cases, there will be none, since all of this seems like supporting Google internet dominance) will be ignored by support.
Sir, this is the internet. Morons will still complain about broken things in public forums even if you make them click through multiple dialogue boxes and popups with warnings in flashing text.
A few days ago I needed to download some transactions from a bank’s site. However, it kept giving “Something went wrong”. I called support and they told me I needed to use chrome. I did and surprisingly enough it actually worked. I did try Firefox less than a minute after that and it was still broken, so it wasn’t just a back-end issue that was resolved while logging on on Chrome. I still have no clue how it’s possible to create a download button that can break on Firefox.
Hey, I don't want to discourage your language learning, but duolingo really sucks as a language learning platform. It honestly doesn't teach you anything about actually using a language.
You might be much better served by using something like babbel, memrise or even better, Rosetta Stone. They are paid options, but well worth the price I think.
We got it for funsies and went through the final Spanish test. We're both fluent speakers, he's native. We were unable to pass the final tests--not because we didn't speak Spanish, but because it was actually a subjective interpretation of what was being said rather than an objective one, btu they treated it like it were objective. Basically you have to learn it THEIR way. As a linguist, this is a big no-no and I walked away.
The best one is Language Transfer. Completely free (I'm a patron, though) and speaking as someone who has learned five languages aside from English, this is the best system outside of full immersion.
I would love to switch to something else but I have not found anything that peopme say is good that offers Norwegian. Do you have any suggestions?
Your browser isn’t supported because the developer or product manager who put the website together doesn’t know what the fuck they are doing. What could possibly require some cutting edge feature on a language learning website?
Duolingo is not useful anymore anyway due to enshittification. You'd be better off using programs like babbel or pimsleur >!pirate it!<
Duolingo, where your progress can be wiped out without any notice anytime the company wants to change the structure of the language you're learning. Super helpful!
Quit duolingo, there are better alternatives 😇
Name them. Jeez
Language Transfer is hands down the best language learning system I've ever used. Completely free, although I have a monthly patreon donation set up.
It has 10 or 12 languages, although some of them only offer a beginner course. Still, not bad considering that it was all done by one guy!
Each course is done as MP3s with a conversation between the teacher and student. You can play them on YouTube, SoundCloud, download the mp3s, or use the extremely convenient app.
Can you name a few? I've been wanting to learn a new language but I've always heard Duolingo isn't the way to go
privacy.resistfingerprinting = true reports the Browser as "Firefox ESR". Not sure if this even exists on mobile tbh.
Added an Extension to my collection to toggle RFP
But for me Duolingo also displayed that after switching my Browser agent to "Chrome 121 Android 14" and also "Firefox 122 Android 14".
Fuck that app.
try enabling WASM (web assembly, hell!!). chromium in OpenBSD's port also get "Unsupported browser" when WASM is not enabled.
I've also had issues with brave search on mull, whenever it decides It to check if I'm a robot it says that mull is missing a requirement
