It seems to me that some sites are having problems handling UA's that

that they 'work' with first whilst others seem to require the program

Would be interesting, if someone was having problems with a site, if
they where to try the site with a UA or two and see which works, e.g.

As far as I know github has a minimum requirement of esr60. One of the
reasons I just changed Gecko 56 to 60 in 2.53. Feature wise they don't
need it or 2.49.x wouldn't work with a fake user agent. Like most
sites they just want to only support the big players to save on
potential support costs and make more money. Or in googles case get
rid of the competition.
If they want to save on support costs, shouldn't they just write
W3C-compliant code that works on all browsers? Then they'd only have to
write and debug and revise it once and they wouldn't have to train their
staff on three or four different versions. What am I missing here?
Hear! Hear!
