Beyond trying a different browser: try the chrome mask extension for Firefox, some websites that refuse to work only do so because they are hardcoded to.
Thingiverse doesn’t work for me. Possibly due to several layers of ad/script blockers I have running but most sites don’t have issues. Netflix and Hulu were screwy as well when I used them.
Have not validated recently but the initial setup would not start in Firefox. The page would load but it would not be the “setup your first user” page. Had to use chrome to setup the admin account. YMMV.
You’ll just be trying to accomplish some random task like book a restaurant table, and the form will be inexplicably broken.
Most recent site I experienced this on is my national mail carrier where I’m trying to track a package and on Firefox their AI chatboy assistant goes crazy and covers the whole page blocking any interaction.
This browser monopoly has us back in the bad old days of “works only on Internet Explorer”
That “dutch” payment system breaks on FireFox, there are others but they aren’t significant
I do semi regularly run into a issue though (mostly mobile) and the switching to brave fixes that.
I use brave as little as possible, but it’s needed sometimes
As someone who uses iDEAL with Firefox all the time, I have never had it break. You might need to check whether there isn’t an extension that causes issues or looking into disabling Enhanced privacy mode for iDEAL.
Not sure what bank you’re with, but perhaps it’s only a issue with my bank.
On mobile it doesn’t open the banking app when it should when I use FireFox
I recognize that issue. Firefox doesn’t forward to an app by default, prompting you instead. However, they often immediately forward you to the play store instead when it does not work immediately (not letting you accept the prompt).
Settings > (Advanced) > Open Links in App (set to always), would make it work (at the cost of every other website also doing so…)
What’s the best chromium browser to use then?
Firefox doesn’t work on all sites, so I sometimes have to use Brave

I believe ungoogled-chromium is best imho. I will admit the options are not looking good atm
Genuine question: what sites do you run into where Firefox doesn’t work? The only thing I can think of is Jellyfin
Thingiverse doesn’t work for me. Possibly due to several layers of ad/script blockers I have running but most sites don’t have issues. Netflix and Hulu were screwy as well when I used them.
Mh? We’re using jellyfin in Firefox all the time in our household. Or do you mean for specific codecs?

Absolutely loads, honestly.

The most annoying one is paying with iDeal

That does sound painful. Thanks for sharing.

Vivaldi is the one I liked the most before swapping off chromium
