    Can you send me an example? I don’t think I ever really encountered those sites and I use FF almost exclusively for ~20 years.

      Its a frequency of use thing, and also some required sites. Examples are sites hosted by schools, government, or workplaces.

      Although most people using Firefox aren’t aware of spoofing the client to look like chrome, so that might need to be talked about more.

      That all said, I don’t have problems with any required usage, the only ones I have an issue with are on my phone, using mull, some sites payment forms won’t load or work correctly. Taco bell is pretty bad for that and then the app wouldnt work either for a while. I also run grapheneos though so its hard to say what’s the cause there.

        Hm, okay. Maybe it’s just a US government page thing then. Here in Germany firefox is still at 20% and used to be the standard browser until 5-6 years ago, so maybe pages are still optimized for it here.
