      It depends on what websites you frequent. The vast majority work fine (though they are still heavily optimized for Chrome and not much else), but there are some exceptions like publishers of educational material or other websites with overzealous ideas of web based DRM. I’ve seen some banners that straight up tell you “You need to upgrade to a proper browser” and then link to the Chrome installer…

        Yeah, its not that the entire website won’t work, it’ll be some vital part of it.

        Various Federal and State and Local government websites will have a captcha that just doesn’t load, or have a search map or filter system that bugs out and doesn’t work.

        Happens with a good number of slapdash apartment websites too, and some smaller businesses.

        Theres a few things I have to regularly use that just do not actually work on Firefox so I have to keep Chrome around… =(

        Again though, sometimes you can get them to work by just using a browser spoofing addon to tell the website that you are actually Chrome. Which is insane because… basically that means theyre just intentionally making Firefox not work even though it does.

      Only crappy websites cause problems, and unless it’s something you really need, why bother?

      Apple Business Manager and JAMF both will refuse to work in Firefox for me. GoDaddy frequently complains too.
