When going to use Adobe express on Firefox it comes up with the following message, saying that this browser doesn't play well with others and that I should use Safari, Google Chrome, or Microsoft Edge instead.

So tired of all the asshat sites that only test in Chrome and call it a day. Did none of them live through the IE-only era of the web??
Firefox and Safari are the sole exception to the monoculture that is the Blink engine. Most developers just use whatever comes in the latest Chromium and call it a day - for them accommodating for less than 20% of the market when they can simply join the 80% is wasting time in the long tail of the Pareto rule. Which is why I loathe Google having so much de facto power on the W3C.
I try to do my part to resist the monoculture by using Firefox everywhere I can, from mobile to my work computers. It's true that I do run into sites that just break because everybody uses Chrome. Well, I'm somebody who isn't using it. I will be the change I want to see in the world, even if in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter.
@henfredemars @csolisr I feel like most people complaining about Firefox “being slow” haven’t tried it in 5 years or run Chrome on a machine that has enough resources to run a million tabs in both browsers, simultaneously 😅 Firefox is a fantastic browser, with brilliant dev tools, separate spaces for social media accounts without sharing cookies etc. Everything works perfectly, aside from the occasional website that blocks browsers by user agent like it’s 2003
