> I'd still humbly suggest everyone to give Firefox a try.

I usually suggest die-hard Chrome users use a plugin to spoof their user agent so product managers and developers are more likely to tread non-Chrome as a first-class browser.




I guess it's better than nothing but 1.) it will cause pages (especially some Google properties) to deliver unoptimised versions meant for the real Firefox (or more generally non-Chrome browsers), and 2.) don't sophisticated websites and apps anyway ignore user-agent string and directly probe through JS?


As they should...but often don't (see unoptimized versions to your own comment).


That’s some 4 dimensional chess.


Is there a such plug-in?


You can do it in chrome dev tools. Just pick which one or put a custom one in.
