Not available on Firefox. Nope!

I tried, User agent switcher works miracles. Just sayin'

That awkward moment when it doesn’t support iPhone Safari…

[–] fuckwit_mcbumcrumble@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 months ago

Kinda makes sense. Why support safari on iOS when it’s already installed (by default)

Many people have had easy success with Firefox by spoofing a “Chrome on Windows” user agent; you can use an extension like this one to do so.

Seems easier to just not use Apple Maps tbh

[–] bartleby1@lemmy.ml 14 points 3 months ago (1 children)

true. Also: not commenting is easier than commenting

Ironic

go to about:config
type general.useragent.override
if the key doesn't exist yet, select the String option and click + button
enter the useragent, eg. Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/127.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 for Chrome/Windows

Don't do this. It will override the user agent for every site you visit which will cause a lot of problems, like failing most captchas and breaking a lot of websites.

You should use an extension (like this one) to change UA on a per site basis instead.

Or do the sane thing: close tab on any site that refuses to support Fx

How timely of them.

My browser isn’t supported (DDG). But I’m on an iPhone, and every browser is required to use WebKit—so every browser is literally safari. Lame.

Edit: oh, maybe it’s no phones.
