They just block it by user agent, if you spoof it, everything is working well.
How comes nobody has sued them over that yet?!!
Which rule they violated?

Firefox could be a lot better with usability issues, too. They will agree on something being an issue and then let the ticket sit there for months and years, even if it's something that's easy to fix and should be prioritized.
"should be prioritized" is a very subjective statement. Out of every 100 tickets, there is 50 people who believe theirs is the most important one. And we have over 200k tickets total (not all are bugs, many are resolved, but the scale is massive). If you think a bug is easy to fix, pleasez consider providing a patch.
I find it hard to believe you don't know that casually contributing to Firefox is ridiculously hard. The build system is borderline insane, building takes hours, and most importantly people who can approve your changes clearly have more important things to do and regularly fail to answer. I have tried contributing a couple of times. Thank you, no more.

#74I switched to Firefox after they stopped caring about usability issues (like right clicking without releasing left mouse button deselects the text since v fifty-something on windows), the difficulties they created for ad blockers, the account integration fiasco, and so on. I know this particular bug seems to be an edge case that may happen with every browser, but when you are using Chrome, you should know that if an…
> 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.
Is there a such plug-in?

I've recently started using FF for some uses, and find it quite laggy compared to Chrome (on Windows, even with dozens of extensions, and heaps of open tabs in Chrome, and one or two tabs on FF). I would like to use it, but performance wise doesn't seem to do for me, unfortunately.

Good for you! I personally find it difficult to do it without a mouse. And even with mouse it's error prone, you might accidentally move your mouse during clicking on something, and d&d something somewhere that you don't really want to (classic example is moving folder into another folder in the file open dialog).
DnD is natural human gesture to move things around. Implementation is imperfect but Undo should help then. Desktop has all this sorted out for years.
Unfortunately, there is no Undo on the file open dialog. So, no, the desktop hasn't it sorted all out.
But I don't really mind DnD as long as it's not obtrusive and there are other means to accomplish the task.

#77After the Chromium removed chrome://net-internals/, the browser is not worth it anymore.

#78I've been dealing with a massive performance regression in the canvas API. The frustrating bit is that they were well aware of the cost and made the change anyways. They didn't seem to stop and consider what effect it might have on major libraries and applications. https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=100184...
Interacting with googlers is horrifying. He was ready to commit to the bad decision until he was threatened with a PR disaster of breaking the software used by "hundreds of thousands of school kids".
I can't help but think that if a lowly dev like me were to report the issue the "won't fix" would've stuck.
Re: Chrome 77 Breaking Drag and Drop Events
#79Spent half the morning trying to work out why drag and drop events were not working properly in code that was working fine and deployed for nearly a year. Finally tracked it down to this obscure bug in Chrome 77 which re-orders drag and drop events but only when your page is inside an iframe that is hosted on a different domain. Looking at the report it looks like this has broken a lot of peoples applications and lik…

I've been tracking this drag-and-drop bug from five years ago; it's still not fixed.
I think most browser manufacturers mostly gave up on the HTML5 drag-and-drop API. There are lots of open bugs on lots of browsers that haven't been touched in ages.

That now opens a new tab with Google Translate, which is annoying. I prefer https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/simple-transl...
+1 for Simple Translate. Simply select text, click the popup and done. I just wish there was option to quick change the output language (currently you can have like 2 target languages).
(I can't test now since I'm behind an evil proxy) seems like both are lacking the simplicity and elegance of Chrome's in-place translations
