Comment on Why Bother With uBlock Being Blocked In Chrome? Now Is The Best Time To Switch To Firefox

• rambaroo@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  The teams web app was borked for me on Firefox at one point in Firefox. Idk if it’s still like that. Also Google Chat or whatever tf it’s called now disables a bunch of features on Firefox.

  Still worth it. 99% of websites work just fine. They basically have to design to intentionally not work on FF.

    Those are literally restrictions placed by the site in question, not a limitation of Firefox. Get a user agent changer, and set the user agent to the “required” browser, and ~magically~ it will work!

  Chrome turning into Internet Explorer was something that I didn’t foresee some years ago.

  Heck they have literally done that with Edge lol.

  Been using it for years, and the only few times I had issues was due to worthless websites creating artificial obstacles with an “unsupported browser/OS” page or banner rather than something actually breaking for being incompatible.

  Discord and spotify web versions don’t work on Firefox for me. On discord in can’t connect to a call and Spotify doesn’t play songs or it takes a long time after pressing play for the song to start playing.

    Both work flawlessly for me. In fact, discord on Firefox works much better than the standalone app specifically for calls.

    Sounds to me like something is broken or misconfigured on your system.

      Interesting. I will have to try discord. I’ve used Spotify with no issues.

      Good to know. I’ll try reinstalling Firefox. Both of these work flawlessly on edge for me.
