      I use Firefox on Linux and FreeBSD for my daily driver.

      I was not able to book flights on Thai airways website 6 months ago until I loaded it in chrome/chromium instead.

      It’s really really rare imo but that’s one example in recent history.

        That sounds more like an issue with them using some proprietary browser bullshit than a problem with Firefox.

          But what, practically, is the difference? If more and more websites use shit that only works in Chrome or Chromium based browsers, the effect is the same. The web doesn’t work as well for Firefox users.

            One is a browser following web standards and the other is a shitty company adding non-standards based development features intended to lock users into there browsers.

            It was shitty when Microsoft did the non-standard features to lock in with Internet Exporer and it is shitty that Chrome does it now.
