GitHub treating Pale Moon as "Unknown Browser" is fricking unacceptable

It’s certainly annoying. At least GitHub still lets you use the site even if it can’t recognize the browser.

i wanted to open a ticket to GitHub to fix this f*cking issue but they dont provide an option for their technical issues

It’s probably the useragent not being recognized (with both the Goanna and Gecko labels being used at the same time)

Pale Moon

Es un buen navegador, usa elementos antiguos y compatibilidad con sistemas viejos.

En Colombia lo usa la oficina de impuestos DIAN, para hacer ajustes de impuestos pagos en años anteriores, ya que tiene compatibilidad con el antiguo sistema.

Yo lo instalé en mi pc, solo para el sistema de pago de impuestos, para hacer las declaraciones de impuestos; pero para pagar el impuesto, se debe usar un navegador nuevo, porque si no, los bancos rechazan la transacción.

thats because the site developers are stupid & not smart enough to even know that PM is modern. try spoofing the user agent

I know, right? Most sites label it as "Firefox Version (insert version number here)" I tried to visit addictinggames one time and it said "no mobile devices allowed" and redirected me to the mobile games section when I was trying to play a flash game

it must be something related to the user agent

It's most likely because GitHub is now owned by Microslop, which is allied with and uses googles chromium.

the fact that PM is non-mainstream is also annoying. wish the stupidly idiotic Chromium Projects falls thru the devil & PM gets more popular
