Example: The meeting webservice my bank uses is for whatever reason blocked for Firefox. Not sure if they just User-Agent check but they consciously block out Firefox users. I alerted my bank person about that but I doubt that's going to be any different next time I have a meeting with them.

Are you sure that's not an ad/tracker-blocking issue?

I've seen this on twitch, for example. Trying to log in with trackers blocked will throw up a dialog saying "your browser is not supported," but if you allow tracking, it works fine. And once logged in, you can block trackers again and the site continues to work normally.

Nope they explicitly state in their support forums that they do not support Firefox and the Error Message you get recommends using Edge or Chrome. This is not an Ad-Block problem
