Thank you for making it open source!

Submitted a PR to prevent its installation on macos versions older than Tahoe(26), since I was able to install it on my older macos 15, but it aborted on execution.

Firefox is my default, no matter where I go. I use Firefox even on my family members' laptops, even though the Chrome is pretty much always open on their machines. Time and time again I've shown that Firefox is a better choice compared to Chrome when it comes to flexibility and privacy.

That's most likely because they don't support mobile/small-form-factor altogether.

Oh, but AI has made the cost of development so low! It doesn't cost much to do cross-browser tests anymore. /s :-)

Well, it never cost much. For the most part you just need to install it into your test framework.

The problem is that the value of doing it is essentially none.


This isn’t true. Firefox users get really salty about this. They really will drop your product.

Absolutely. I will refuse to do business with anyone who is hostile to the open web.

That's a great suggestion! I used the 'User-Agent Switcher' add-on [1] and that seems to have done the trick for both the websites I reported above. (edit: I chose the option 'Windows / Chrome 146' in the add-on's UI).

As someone else said here, we should probably chalk it up to laziness on developers' part; maybe there's more to it, but I'll take that explanation and move on :-)

Also, developers at many companies don't own their time. They're given a certain amount per feature that they didn't estimate themselves, and the company doesn't give them time to fix Firefox specific bugs because it would cost them more than the user's monetary value is worth compared to other features or bugs.


Please use it only for lazy dev website, as it hides the global usage of Firefox



I keep hearing here on HN that people _don't_ need the latest and greatest in phones, so I think these (refurbished) iPhones available on BestBuy are a great deal. And these are supported by the latest iOS version [2] [3], too.

There are also refurbished phones available from Apple themselves, but they don't seem to provide the older generation (iPhone 7, SE, etc.) and the cheapest available at this time is for $530, as compared to BestBuy's iPhone SE 2nd Gen for $35.

MPGe is a U.S. EPA metric that measures the energy efficiency of electric vehicles (EVs) and alternative fuel vehicles by comparing them to gasoline-powered cars. It dictates how far a vehicle can travel on 33.7 kWh of electricity, which equals the energy content of one gallon of gasoline.
