Enkers@sh.itjust.works 10 months agoMost of the time the site doesn’t need chrome, it’s just that’s all they test it with, so they say it’s a requirement.
There’s an addon for Firefox called User Agent Switcher that allows you to have Firefox identify itself to websites as chrome, and it often fixes the problem.

I work in IT so I am aware of this. Maybe you’ve not worked in enough places that just build incompatible apps?

Yeah, “most” was probably a bit hyperbolic, especially for internal websites, and I guess it’s no surprise that the sectors you mentioned would be particularly bad for it.

Sorry I’m snippy as I have personal stuff going on. You are right in so far as if you have full control of your machine which isn’t the case for the orgs I mentioned.

All good; I didn’t think about your comment thoroughly enough before replying, and you had a very valid point! ^^
