Website Support

Websites such as the Sites above are not working in Firefox or other Open Source Browsers. I am being forced to use Chromium in this case to complete payments and add items to the DMV Cart and complete a payment for example. I do not want to have to do this. I do not want to be forced to use a Closed Source Browser such as Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome or Apple Safari. Or, Even the Open Source version of Google Chrome Chromium. Companies like PGE are deciding to drop support for Firefox as the State not enough users use Firefox. They are forcing the market to use a Non Open Source Browser. This is a Problem. This is not good for Competition and the Internet as a whole. Not good for me as I am a Linux User. The PG&E website does not even load when using Firefox. The DMV site loads but does not allow one to complete any Payments for Example. At this time one can only view Information on the DMV website.

This is why you need to have trust browser aka Edge, Chrome, Safari to access protected sites that requires browser with high levels of browser security to access such site. You don't get a choice on sites like this that requires specific browser to access the site - your left with the browser they permit to access their site.

Firefox is just as secure if not more so compared to Chrome/Chromium based browsers which are a downgrade overall. It does not help some are just lazy in making their sites only work just adequately and happen to work in Chrome/Chromium based browsers instead of making them work properly
I would agree that Firefox is just as Secure if not more Secure than Chrome/Chromium, Edge, and Safari. Being forced like this does not support Trust in Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Apple Safari, or Chromium. Being forced like this supports the notion that the Internet being bought out by large Companies and forcing Open Source out of the Picture by not supporting Open Source at all. As this continues this is going to become a bigger and bigger Problem. This needs to stop.
Website support is such an essential part of ensuring a smooth user experience. It is great to see discussions around best practices and ways to improve support services for websites.
