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.

New comment by gurjeet in "Tell HN: Firefox is being slowly deprecated by the industry"

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 :-)

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 :-)
