“Just use Firefox/Librewolf or any other privacy-conscious browser that isn’t Chromium-based.” I already do, but some websites/platforms don’t play nice on non-Chromium-based browsers due to Google’s monopoly on the web. Sometimes I can afford to not use that website/platform, but unfortunately not always.
Just a few days ago I tried to pay for flight tickets on flypgs.com. Multiple attempts on Firefox didn’t work, while the first attempt on a Chromium-based one did. It might have been a fluke, but every so often issues like these do happen. And for some reason switching the browser does bear a positive result. YMMV though.
Change your user agent to Chrome/Windows. 99% of the time, weirdness will go away.
I have daily driven Firefox for about 8 years now. There is exactly 1 (one) site that I’ve had not work in FF because of an actual incompatibility that user agent switching didn’t fix.

I have only seen people saying this, but have never come across such a website that does not work properly on Firefox.
