Mozilla is developing an add-on called Go Faster that uses WebCompat data to adjust settings in Firefox for compatibility on poorly tested sites.

Firefox already ships some UA overrides. You can see the list of active overrides (with links to bug reports explaining each) in Firefox's about:compat page.


It looks like about:compat is the desktop implementation of the Go Faster add-on.

Good to see this in action already.
