Comment on Google antitrust trial: Tech giant denies abusing power to gain monopoly - BBC News
Sanctus@lemmy.world 1 year agoThis is what you get accessing ABM on Firefox
I said they claim the site is unsupported on Firefox, yet it functions completely fine. That is what I said. Nothing about it not working on Chrome. Please read my comments thoroughly before you reply.

If we’re going to play the snark game, please read my comments completely before replying.
A site being unsupported by Firefox just means it’s a shitty site. If it did support Firefox, but not Opera, would you make claims that Mozilla paid Apple to block Opera?
Additionally supported and functional are two completely different things. Have you tested every single part of the website in Firefox? What about new versions of the site? Did you test them in Firefox?
Additionally, what even is business.apple.com? I can access apple.com from Firefox to buy a phone or iPad. I can access apple.com/business to learn all about their business offerings from Firefox. I can access BusinessConnect.apple.com to manage my business from Firefox.
The fact that some random Apple site doesn’t work in Firefox just proves that Apple is shitty/lazy. The fact that it doesn’t work on a mobile device is the real crazy thing.
There are plenty of reasons to be upset with Google, we may even find negative monopolistic behavior as a result of this lawsuit. However the fact that some Apple site doesn’t support Firefox isn’t proof of that.

Why are you commenting if you don’t know what Apple Business Manager even is? Seriously, you have no knowledge of this site. Yet you are contesting my claims like your salary depends on it. Apple Business Manager is a way to enroll Apple Devices into a Mobile Device Management system. You have tonuse this or automated enrollment from your cell carrier to get iPhones into a manageable state. Additionally, without automated carrier enrollment you must use a Mac with Apple Configurator 2 on it to prepare the Apple Devices for enrollment.
If you tell me your site needs chromium to work, and then I change my user agent string and it works on my firefox browser that is suspect. There are thousands of reasons to hate Google, but this is also one of them. Apple didn’t make Chromium, and if it works on Firefox 100% why are you pushing Firefox users to a different browser?
You may find that acceptable, but I don’t. Thats just all there is to it.
