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.

The Wizzair website showed an unskippable popup telling me I'm a bot. Therefore, I couldn't buy tickets. Changing user agent to Chrome (Windows) fixed the problem. However, a week later when I attempted to purchase tickets I got exactly the same popup that was preventing me from buying tickets. I was able to buy tickets only when I rebooted to Windows and used Chrome, nothing else helped the second time.

Sounds like you need to take your business elsewhere

Unfortunately, that airport have only two departures per day, so I don't have any choice.
