I am still using Firefox as my main browser, but some sites are broken with Firefox and working fine with Chrome. So unless you are particularly motivated to stay on a given platform, practically it does not really makes sense as a user to stay committed.

I use Firefox as my daily driver and have not encountered any sites that work in Chrome but not Firefox.

Google slides didn't work properly for me on Firefox a few days ago, all fonts displayed as some ugly serif font. Though I assume this is Google being underhand and malicious rather than Firefox not working properly.

The website for one of my local news stations, the one I prefer for severe weather coverage, causes Firefox to freeze. That started happening a few months ago, so I now have to use Chrome to check the weather. And last month my electric company's website stopped working with Firefox. It no longer displays any user data, such as amount owed, so I have to use Chrome to pay my bill. I've encountered a few other sites here and there while surfing.

I do too, and I have had great success... until recently, when I noticed multiple sites that don't display all form fields / checkboxes under firefox.

Most recently, I was checking into an international flight on aa.com, and there was some checkbox that Firefox was not displaying. I kept hitting submit, and AA kept telling me there was a problem, and it appeared that I'd filled out the entire form. I disabled Ublock, etc, and I could never get it to work. I eventually tried Chrome, and noticed the extra field.

It might be a specific security setting I've made more restrictive than the default, but Cloudflare's bot detector goes into an infinite loop on Firefox, thus making any site that puts that in front unusable, including OpenAI most notably. As a consequence, I don't use those sites, but I'm sure others would rather just give in and use a browser with settings that Cloudflare actually tests against and cares about.

OWA (Outlook Web Access) shows me the antiquated "lite HTML" interface with Firefox on my OS. If I change the user agent to claim to be Chrome on Windows, it shows me the modern UI (which works fine, however it gets the time zone wrong).

Accessing Google Docs, Sheets, etc. works OK with Firefox, but if I claim to be Chrome some things don't work. So they are defintely serving up something different to Chrome vs Firefox browsers.

I've had issues with video calls, particularly ones based on webex that were forwarded through other sites, my health insurer/other telehealth apps, netflix and other streaming sites, just to name a few I've seen in the last year.

It’s usually when the sites depend on Chrome-specific calls and don’t provide alternates for other browsers because they only test on Chromme.

Interesting, I have not come across any broken websites in a while. Or well, there was a booking website recently where I switched to Chrome to have my booking go through. But it would need to be a lot of those instances before I would even consider switching to Chrome. You have any (anecdotal) stats on how many websites are broken? What kind of sites are those?

I'm not a heavy Firefox user, but I've seen it as well. I don't remember the specifics, but on a couple of occasions a site would fail to function properly, I'd pop the developer tools open and see a Javascript error, usually about a null object. I'm assuming some sites are relying on Chrome-specific extensions because they don't see enough Firefox traffic to care. I haven't really seen much in the way of broken layout though, which is a big difference from the old "only tested in IE" days.

Same, it's mostly Google sites that work better with Chrome, like the GCP console.
