More and more companies are blocking the use of the Firefox browser. The companies then advise using Google Grome and/or Microsoft Edge. Is there some solution for this because, I want to continue to use Firefox?? Some companies are, UWV, Ziggo, the App Ziggo Go, a credit Card company, etc. This is a short list of the companies that are blocking Firefox.

In most cases, it should not matter what browser is being used. But some just don't like Firefox.

It's possible to make the website think you are using a different browser by hanging the User-Agent information the browser sends.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/User-Agent The User-Agent request header is a characteristic string that lets servers and network peers identify the application, operating system, vendor, and/or version of the requesting user agent . . . .

Dear member of the support group,

I am a general user of software that is on my laptop. Please advise with which I, as a general user, can resolve the matter.

You can only try to install this extension https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/user-agent-string-switcher/ and select a browser that is supported by this page.

Please provide screenshot showing a website and icon of that addon with Edge/Chrome UA. I can't test it by myself right now.
