We appreciate your report. I was able to reproduce the issue by following the steps to reproduce. An error message is displayed regarding the browser:

Tested with:

Browser / Version: Firefox Release 125.0.3 (64-bit)/ Firefox Nightly 127.0a1 (2024-05-06) (64-bit) /Chrome Version 124.0.6367.119 (Official Build) (64-bit) /Microsoft Edge Version 124.0.2478.67(Official build) (64-bit
Operating System: Windows 10 PRO x64

Notes:

1. Reproducible regardless of the status of ETP.
2. Reproducible on the latest build of Firefox Nightly and Release.
3. Works as expected using Edge and Chrome.

Moving this to NeedsDiagnosis for further investigations.

Good morning/evening everyone,

uBlockOrigin/uAssets@660601f bypasses it by setting browserDetectorService.isBrowserChrome() to return true.

The pop-up is triggered by this file, with this code:

ngAfterViewInit() {
    this.checkBrowserCompatibility()
}
checkBrowserCompatibility() {
    if (!this.browserDetectorService.isBrowserChrome()) {
        const e = this.modalService.open(o.a, {
            centered: !0,
            backdropClass: 'modal-backdrop-color'
        });
        e.componentInstance.title = 'Incompatible Browser',
        e.componentInstance.message = 'GM Binder works best with the latest version of Chrome.  If you continue with your current browser, some features may not work as expected.'
    }
}

It is worth noting that this Reddit post says the website works fine under Firefox, despite the pop-up implying otherwise.

Have a nice day,

Thanks for your comment @Ikkibird , we can investigate shipping an intervention to bypass the check as well.
