I would use firefox but more and more websites require a specific browser technology or even a specific browser.

What sites? I haven't run into any that Firefox doesn't work with except maybe some sites that wouldn't be useful day-to-day anyway. Not in 10 years or so.

Every now and then I still get an error that some media format doesn't play in Firefox.

I found several AI sites that seem to block Firefox. Google search labs, the new Bing search. There was also some code collaboration site (duck something) recently. Nothing too too bad but I am finding them more and more.

You know what's the common thing all your examples have in common. They're run by Google. They've been doing this anticompetitive thing for years, deliberately slowing their sites on non chromium browsers, and the senators are turning a blind eye on the same thing that made Bill Gates shit his pants 20 years ago.

Wow I am downvotes for running into websites that don't work in Firefox? What is this, Reddit??

[-] billytheid@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

It’s more that they don’t believe you’ve used Firefox recently

[-] Throwaway4669332255@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Really? I don't know why. What an odd assumption.

[-] Someology@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

It's extremely rare for a site other than Facebook to cause me any trouble with Firefox. It's actually less common than it was a few years ago.
