What is the "right" thing to do when a website tells me to download Chrome? (lemmy.ca)

I'll be emailing the site admin... or some contact at the site, but, is there anything else that can be done to try to put pressure on these websites that tell me "you're not getting the best experience... download Chrome."?

I know Firefox has a "Report a broken site" feature, but, the site isn't technically broken. They're just telling me to switch browsers.

User agent switcher has fixed those issues 9/10 times for me.

I've also had times websites like Outlook or Youtube just run faster after lying to them about using Edge/Chrome...

This is what I do. Works 9 out of 10 times.
