Websites which "need" chrome (feddit.org)

Hey all,

i was wondering, how you are managing websites which clearly state they need chrome. Most of the time, switching the user agent works fine, but sometimes it does not. Implying you need to use them. Is there something like a wall of shame for said websites? I gladly report them.

Thank you!

Who are these people? What can they do?

They are the collective main browser makers, including Mozilla. One thing Mozilla can (and does) do is insert site-specific workarounds (e.g. changing the User Agent), and/or work with the website to ensure compatibility.
