I use Firefox, but it doesn’t work everywhere. Some financial sites, and Ticketmaster won’t let you use Firefox. It’s bullshit, but that’s the way it is.
I’m not sure I understand what you’re saying. You can’t just say “fuck off” if your bank requires another browser, or if you want to go to an event and the only place to get tickets is Ticketmaster. It’s not right, but you have to use a browser that works.
Oh yeah I can, I’m petty af. Like ridiculously petty. I’ve changed banks for weaker reasons than that. If my bank didn’t support Firefox, id switch banks in a heartbeat.
I complained to my bank about an incompatibility once and they actually acknowledged and fixed it. Sometimes they just aren’t aware. If they did not care I would have considered switching bank.
Remember that it is purely an artificial limitation. The web has open standards that either browser should be (and is) fully capable of delivering even damn videogames in the browser.
The ONLY reason businesses limit the browser is either because they’re being lazy fucks and don’t want to test on more than two or three browsers and whitelist what they test… Or they’re doing shady sh*t that requires some APIs these guys talk about (not the exact same ones, but same idea).
There are ways to transpile and use polyfills automatically so that even the craziest crap works across all browsers: The only reasons to not support it are bad ones.
I think in most cases it’s just laziness, cheapness, or incompetence. I feel pretty confident in saying that with Ticketmaster it’s because they want all of your information and Firefox is harder to exploit.
I’ve grown petty and pissed off at companies, so if it was me I’d find a new bank immediately and blacklist them for any future relationship. It doesn’t even matter that it can be handled by tech knowledge and workarounds, the principle is that it shouldn’t need it in the first place.
It has never worked for me through Firefox mobile. I haven’t tried on the desktop, but maybe it works there. Every time a friend sends me baseball tickets I have to copy the link and paste it into chrome to get them.

Every such case is another reason to use Firefox.
Fuck them.

99% of the time you just use an extension that can tell the site you’re on Chrome and it works anyway

I ordered tickets through Ticketmaster on Firefox recently. Don’t know if that’s a recent change, but it worked fine for me.
