So many tech minded people, but at same time, so many of us fail to consider others POV and priorities.

JUST DON'T VISIT THAT WEBSITE! - sure bro, that means i won't be able to pay the bills this month because the only traditional way of doing this is visiting a physical kiosk at working hour. Did i mention that i gotta work?

Similar with messaging apps.

YOU NEED BETTER FRIENDS LOL - trust me I've tried. i also need to send my resume using this app to whoever interviewing me. no, no email. yes, i tried teling that. no, i won't be that guy preaching about software freedom when all i want is a fucking job.

The first sites I really noticed it on were banking sites. Pretty much essential. Then I noticed more and more sites. Switching to chrome based solved it. But it really, really bothers me that I had to resort to that.

Would love to just ignore such sites, but that becomes a pretty big ask... Sigh

Where do you live where banking sites don’t follow industry standards, even for web development?

I’ve never had a problem with a website outright not working on Firefox, although in some cases features are restricted which usually just require a user agent change (like huddles on slack).

Do you have concrete examples of websites that outright don’t work on Firefox?
