      Yeah, Firefox works fine for me, problem is a good number of websites on the modern web just actually do not work correctly on Firefox because theyre designed by lazy morons.

      Sometimes this can be fixed by just spoofing it and presenting as chrome, other times not.

      In Opera’s defense, I have considered installing it for its game recommendation thingy alone and not actually using it as a browser, simply because modern online game stores basically recommend either massively marketed stuff or seemingly completely random 5 dollar trash, or stupid meme game that is extremely popular right now that is basically also trash and is forgotten about when Twitch moves on to the next thing.

      In the past I remember Opera’s game thingy actually being decent. Any current users that can attest to this?

      My only issue with Firefox is some extensions get a little fussy in-between updates, but it seems to be a Linux issue more than a Firefox one.

      And my problem is most definitely a skill issue.

    Firefox actually doesn’t break. And it’s also not Chrome with a layer of paint. So that’s the obvious solution. Degoogled Chromium is the other.

    The only issues I’ve had with Firefox is when some websites, like Teams, doesn’t “support” it. Even though if you change the browser’s identifier (there’s an extension for that) then it works fine, they just don’t “officially support” it.

    • I’m also like 90% sure that “we don’t support it” is artificial, been meaning to test it.

      My Firefox install at the office works fine with Teams but will refuse to load at home. I think it might be a version issue, but I’ll try to establish parity to make sure it’s not Microsoft being fucky thinking they can shaft anyone using Firefox/Linux outside of the office.
