They don't always say "go get chrome" but one example that still happens to me is logging in to Outlook email at work, if I use Firefox I get a hobbled "basic HTML" interface, if I masquerade as Chrome on Windows I get the full UI and it all works perfectly.

Google drive is another one, where some things stop working depending on the user agent I'm presenting.

My health insurer won't let me login using Opera, a Chromium based browser, and suggests I install Firefox or... Chrome.

UA sniffing is soooo 2008.

Microsoft Teams also does this. Google meet used to do it too.
