Find a website that does not work in one browser, but works in another?

So a periodical reminder that such bugs can be reported via the #webcompat project: webcompat.com/

This often e.g. applies to sites, which are said to be incompatible in #Firefox or so, even though they work fine if you spoof your user agent.

Also if you use #Firefox you can type about:compat into your URL bar to see what workarounds (like spoofing the user agent) are currently employed to make websites work…

@olamundo well the last ones you mentioned are Firefox forks AFAIK so they should best be recognised as Firefox and then it should work. If they are up-to-date at least. If not, then websites obviously may break so fast as the web is moving.

@rugk I'm talking about the time when Opera used Presto engine and had to do things like that, captain.
