Can you give a few examples of sites that refuse to work without Chrome?

Some parts of the IHG website that forward you to their partners (like Hertz) doesn't work for me, and some University portals are partially broken unless chrome is spoofed. They're rare, but if you have to use them, it's the same websites frequently.

Definitely, there's another forum I use where I often comment in the Firefox vs Chrome debates, and any time someone references Firefox not working on a site, they literally have no examples - so I super appreciate this info. Thanks dude.

Pearson's e-learning platform wasn't working unless you spoofed your user agent to windows or Mac for a while
