To be fair, changing your browser agent is on the technical side of things, in my opinion this goes beyond “refilling washer fluid in your car” but more like swapping out the licence plate light for a different colour - few people realise that’s even a thing you can do, and that it has any effect.
Moreover, users should not be blamed when it’s clearly the other party who’s being willfully obstructionist. But I understand your sentiment. It’s tiresome, right?
No, absolutely with you on this! I didn’t mean that I don’t understand because you can simply change the string (because agreed, most people don’t know and can’t be expected to know about this).
What I meant is: in 20 years of FF usage, I have come across ~5-10 broken sites (legitimate or UA, doesn’t matter).
So I can’t understand when people say they can’t use FF because it breaks so many sites.
