“Support” means “actively testing and fixing bugs”

This news doesn’t mean that it just will stop working in Firefox, it’s just that they don’t test and they don’t care.

i have seen websites that actively block you from using them unless you’re on a “supported” browser. it’s kinda nuts
Example: Twitch still doesn't let me login from Firefox if I'm on Alpine Linux.

It only happens when I try from Alpine Linux, so they might be testing for some musl-specific quirk and denying access just for not being the Firefox from a different distro.

how old is your firefox? i am almost positive ive used twitch on alpine but it was a while ago
