    I see this FUD all the time but nobody ever gives examples. Can you point to some specific sites that don’t work with Firefox?

      Costco Travel login page never loads for me in Firefox. Specific sites my kids use for school don’t work either. I wouldn’t say it happens regularly, but often enough to be annoying.

      I have issues with twitch. Given I only watch every 3 months for the POE announcement live stream, I just open brave for that one site. I have not tried to figure out if it’s my setup or not

      dialog boxes will just fuck off. I’ve never gotten webRTC to work properly, though that might be configuration skill issues, and or webRTC implementation skill issues, since it seems to only work on browser, not across two different ones.

      I’ve seen sites just load asinine layouts, borked kerning, completely fucked text handling. Just goofy shit.

      In some cases i’ve seen sites have no download buttons on firefox. I don’t know why, it’s confused me a few times though.

      Walmart.com didn’t work for me on FF for about a week, and it did work on edge and chrome (still broken on FF when I disabled all my add ons). However, they fixed it and it works now. I think it was just a problem with the build of the website, and wasn’t intentional because it definitely works now.

      I think that’s what’s more likely - temp problems that could affect any browser until their web dev fixes it. Not anything malicious like intentionally blocking a browser.

      And then, it’s just Walmart. It’s nothing that really mattered.
