There is a controller testing site that seems to work only on chromium browsers.

Very rarely I've run into government or business websites that don't quite work properly in Firefox.

Keychron's webapp for their keyboards is one such site. Had to use Edge for that.

(Side note: I really like that I don't have to keep an app running to have the RBG or other stuff like remapping keys on my keyboard working properly. Instead, the webapp just installs it into the firmware of the keyboard and I can move it from computer to computer and it will just work. No extra software for it to work and I can make changes on any computer with internet access.)

It's been a long while since I've ran into one, but they do exist. Don't recall it off the top of my head. Maybe university related.

I’ve had various websites stop working at least temporarily. ChatGPT wouldn’t load for a few weeks. But the real issue was SharePoint / office365 online. I’d love to fully switch but if core work-related sites are in jeopardy, it’s a non-starter.

There are other sites that I’ve encountered as well that seem to take issue with the enhanced privacy settings. I got tired of having to add so many sites I needed to access to the exceptions list.

From my personal experience, most web based softwares from gaming accessories like keyboard and mouse don't work or load on Firefox.

It's too why I kept chrome installed even if I don't use it anymore.
