I love Firefox. Love it.

But I keep coming across sites that don't function properly with it. Is this Firefox's fault? No - Firefox follows standards nicely. But growing numbers of sites don't, and this is a big problem at a micro and macro level.

Chrome seems to have such a foothold that it is getting away with embrace/extend/extinguish and I think it's a very sad thing.

Give me examples. I've been using Firefox exclusively for over ten years and I can recall one website I've had to use chrome on. That was draw.io to get shared drawing through a Google drive to work.

For me there are certain sites where the site icon doesn't show up in my bookmarks. While not world shattering, it can be annoying.
