When going to use Adobe express on Firefox it comes up with the following message, saying that this browser doesn’t play well with others and that I should use Safari, Google Chrome, or Microsoft Edge instead.

Sounds like it’s Adobe that doesn’t play well with others.
Yeah, Adobe sucks.
So tired of all the asshat sites that only test in Chrome and call it a day. Did none of them live through the IE-only era of the web??
Thanks Firefox. Adobe is literally a malware. Check with the sysadmin community
Pretty much this TBH. Like, complaining that Adobe doesn’t want to support Firefox is like complaining because your Norton Antivirus doesn’t like your VPN. It’s kinda to be expected.
Combining that with all the anti-Microsoft talk in the thread just makes it funnier to me, as a combination Linux and Windows user who uses almost an entire program suite of free or cheap alternatives to the big names (Krita/Blender/etc. instead of Adobe, Firefox, LibreOffice, etc.)
Am I the weirdo?
Report to webcompat, and try using a user agent switcher like this one to fool the site into thinking you’re using chrome and see how it works
It is pretty much impossible to completely spoof a gecko engine for something else.
The vast majority of sites just check the user agent string, so this is not really an issue.
As someone that is the manager of a web app for a FANG company, it’s not easy to support everything. Right now we don’t support Firefox because the APIs we use (and don’t own) don’t support it. To enable support is then dependent on those other companies/teams to add support which can sometimes be years to develop. Chrome is easier to support because it’s based on Safari and so many other browsers use it as well.
How is Chrome based on Safari?
Google used Apples WebKit and is still closely aligned to it.
Edit: So while technically Chrome is not a fork of Safari, they used enough of Apples tech that personally I don’t think it can be considered a uniquely independent product.
