Yesterday (19/08/2023) everything worked fine. Today (20/08/2023) I can no longer login to Twitch using Firefox. I restarted browser and cleared cache. No change.
EDIT: I tried again after 30min and it works again. I have some privacy-oriented plugins but I don’t play with custom useragent.
Btw there’s no point in using Privacy Badger if you already have uBlock Origin.
The more lines of defense the better
EDIT: to the dumbfucks downvoting this comment I’ll clarify so you can learn something today :
uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger are not the same thing. Privacy badger is focused on blocking trackers but wont block ads.
uBlock origin will try to block trackers based on a list, but it might not be updated or exhaustivew That’s where privacy badger comes handy, it should pick up most of trackers that will go through uBlock origin.
Ublock origin blacklisted trackers list might not be exhaustive so privacy badger will pick up.
Btw I’d love to have a nice explanation on how it works if you think I’m wrong

They don’t block the same things every time, so it’s perfectly fine to have both.
uBlock blocks things solely based on them being in a filter list. Privacy badger blocks form controls and html elements that can allow tracking. Those are different things.
It begins…
I use LibreWolf, which is FF based, and they refuse to let me log in. All it takes is a User Agent spoofer set to Chrome, and it works.
Hm weird chromium announces update to stop allowing ad blockers and suddenly no one allows FF to work in their website.
Just chiming in as a software engineer. My product DOES support Firefox, but there are some weird animation quirks that my team has been trying to solve, but with limited bandwidth and a full product backlog, it’s hard to justify spending too much time supporting a browser with such small global utilization. Especially since we’re using third party libraries like angular material, quirks on smaller browsers can be a nightmare to chase down
Oh I fully understand a smaller company having a website that says “some animations may not work with your browser” when it’s obviously easier to just do chromium as that covers almost every browser, but fully disabling the entire website when it works just fine as long as you tell Firefox to say it’s chrome is a different story.
