Same here. I also can count on one hand the occasions where a site was broken in FF but worked in Chromium. And for a majority of those, that was intentional (aka no actual issue, switchtig the user-agent “fixed” the site). So I have little understanding when people say they can’t use Firefox because pages break.

goes to prove the depths of the lack of technical illiteracy that the western world has been shepherded into.
Just to be clear: I don’t mean that I expect most people to know about user agent strings. I just cannot confirm the “so many sites don’t work!” complaints, flat out
To be fair, changing your browser agent is on the technical side of things, in my opinion this goes beyond “refilling washer fluid in your car” but more like swapping out the licence plate light for a different colour - few people realise that’s even a thing you can do, and that it has any effect.
Moreover, users should not be blamed when it’s clearly the other party who’s being willfully obstructionist. But I understand your sentiment. It’s tiresome, right?
