The problem is most people are on mobile now. And Apple have crippled the web on iOS cus they want everyone going through the app store. So web stuff will be janky / broken on a decent sized cohort of the populations devices.

ps. Also, forget about iOS. Half the websites I try to use nowadays dont even work on Firefox on desktop and I need to use a chromium browser to get them to work.

> Half the websites I try to use nowadays dont even work on Firefox on desktop

I assume half is hyperbole, but even then, I can’t remember a single site (besides some experimental demos) that doesn’t work for me. What do you do that you encounter so many?

I had some issues loading pages on Firefox (mostly Togo order sites). Firefox is my primary browser.

Turned out it was ulock-origin. Disabling it for those sites made the sites work. I’m not entirely sure exactly what JavaScript package was being blocked but try that .

Are you sure they don't work because some parts are axed by an adblocker? I use only Firefox without any issues, except a few cases in which turning off or reconfiguring the usual adblockers does the job. And I keep uMatrix on, which blocks a lot of stuff by default.

Which ones? I've not had a single website fail on Firefox for a decade.

I have had about 2 or 3 internal websites only work on a combination of Chrome, Edge or IE at my jobs. They all sucked and were very important, like time reports or data processing.

I guess the open web is a bit better in this regard?

Recent stuff. google play console (cant upload a build, keeps failing), App store connect(input fields are fucked) Ironsource (cant login or reset password). Ive had issues in the past few days on those that required me to switch to chromium to get my work done.

MS Teams refuses to work on Firefox. It's pretty much the only reason I need to open Chromium these days.
