So what is going to take it's place as the new ALT browser?
I've been using firefox for a while now, and I have been finding more and more important sites like banking and doctor's portals that don't support it. I can only imagine anything else is even worse.
Youll find that most places do support it if you use a user agent switcher. As far as a new browser there are some interesting ones out there but ive been just using a firefox fork
I did try an agent switcher on a few. But it didn't help. It's usually that parts or all of the page just don't load. Not sure how that can be since they are the same engine under the hood, but I saw it happening.
I've been using Firefox for over a decade now and can count the number of times I've had an issue on one hand. And those were some completely obscure sites I had to use once for some very specific purpose. This really isn't an issue anymore.
You must have some magic. My one docs portal for tele-medicine video thing doesn't work. Another doc portal, mychart, a major portal just fails to login unless on chrome. At least 2 big name finacial websites I had to use for work benefits had issues like a part of thier site where you had to check a box before you could submit, but the box was missing... there was simething with a show ticket reseller, don't remember which one.
Maybe you just don't use those sites.
"shooting yourself in the foot" comes is rooted in oopsides people can do in real life; it's hard to imaging hammering yourself like this happens irl too.

Mozilla is probably trying to cashgrab investors with stupid AI insertions.

Orion is apparently coming to Linux. Until then, LibreWolf and Waterfox are decent forks.

doesn't shoot-yourself-in-the-foot work better than this dick hitting thing?
golden_zealot@lemmy.ml · 26 pts · 241d
Shooting ones self in the foot can be misconstrued as accidental whereas hammering ones dick is clearly an intentional and motivated activity.

I can glean what you mean, but what on earth were you trying to type

autocorrect combined with sleep apnea induced morning tiredness and the lack of proofreading are a hell of a combination. lol

The internet can be so crass sometimes, it's tiresome
apotheotic@beehaw.org · 4 pts · 240d
What's tiresome is fascism and climate change. Using a few naughty words on the internet to revel in the absurd is just escape.

it's an extension of the society we've let a few create for us.
