Please, more people switch to Firefox. Chrome is breaking the internet.
The analytics is most likely blocked by common adblock rules. And present-day Firefox users are quite likely to be advanced users, running adblock.
Thus Firefox ends up being under-represented in the analytics.
Or have user agents devolved to the point where every browser lists every other browser and you genuinely can't tell them apart anymore?
Seems like you should still be able to identify the browser without a fancy analytics package.
Yes
Yes.
On the other hand, if you're running adblock, many sites probably don't care how and if the site works for you.
And by the way: it is estimated that 60% of all internet users block analytics. So take your stats with a grain of salt.

I have tried to switch to Firefox multiple times, but I couldn't stand how much slower it felt than Brave, especially on Android. I also prefer the minimalistic interface of Chromium, and run Brave with its "Rewards" feature turned off.
YMMV of course. Firefox has a long way to go it seems on mobile.
It is totally possible that the "problem is on my side" but they still lost my business. There's only so much effort I'm willing to put into purchasing from a company if I can't use their website. Most places work fine, both of these didn't. I normally just find a company that has a better website to give my money to instead.
It's possible it would have eventually worked if I started the browser in safe mode or something, but this doesn't seem reasonable to me to do to be able to give them money.
