Iirc there’s a “per site” spoofer that people could use instead, for those sites that require specific browsers. I don’t actually know what it’s called, and my cursory Google search didn’t bring up much of anything, but I do believe I’ve seen them before.

The FF extension is just called "User-Agent Switcher" I believe?

And yes, you can set it blacklist mode or whitelist mode (in other words, "use the extension on every domain but:" vs. "Only use the extension with these domains:").

I'll only switch away from FF if a site is completely broken. I'll try it before resorting to chromium
