Any context, reasoning, or background?

I get “hmm, your browser isn’t supported” on safari mobile.

Happens with a lot of websites, unfortunately. Also experienced this with Samsung when trying to manage my account for their SmartThings app.

Long time ago my bank used to block it, a simple change of User-Agent fixed that problem.

Not just nightly. Stable is blocked as well.

Seems we're in the next IE-era.

Is it blocking Firefox entirely? At least on an M2 Mac, it shows "Your browser isn't supported" running Firefox v110.0.1.

Why not use stable FF for your business meetings?
