Because a lot of websites still only work with Chrome. It's that simple.

Not really. I use Firefox almost all the time and while I occasionally encounter Chrome only websites they are very rare.

Actually agree to some degree. I only use Firefox and the only page I struggle with is the time sheet at work.

With that I have to open developer tools and disable caching.

I'm also happy to say that the brilliant linux-loving techies in our IT department is planning to replace that web application :-)

How could a website work with Chrome and not Edge? Just user agent sniffing ignoring the Chrome and specifically choosing not to work with Edge? I can't imagine that's common at all.

Sadly it is common for products made outside Silicon Valley. I even had a website once say that my Chrome version had to be between A and B, and wouldn't accept a Chrome version greater than B.

Google deliberately gimps functionality of maps in Edge and Firefox at least.

Definitely not a problem for the wider web though.
