What is the "right" thing to do when a website tells me to download Chrome? (lemmy.ca)

I'll be emailing the site admin... or some contact at the site, but, is there anything else that can be done to try to put pressure on these websites that tell me "you're not getting the best experience... download Chrome."?

I know Firefox has a "Report a broken site" feature, but, the site isn't technically broken. They're just telling me to switch browsers.

Well, I submitted a "support" request:

For whatever it's worth - I'm disappointed to see that XXX is pushing for its customers to download Chrome rather than ensure that their website supports proper web standards. A website that supports web standards will work well on all browsers and will save you from trying to pressure your customers into changing their preferred browser.

Thank you for your time (and, this is my personal opinion, not the opinion of the organization I'm here supporting).
