Firefox, out of the box, detects it immediately and warns you of a security issue, not letting you do anything. Chrome, and chromium based browsers, don't even notice it and happily let you do what needs to be done. I've had the experience of a few sites not working recently in Firefox, one of them explicitly stated an ad server was blocked because of xss settings and refused to load. Chrome didn't care. permalink fedilink source parent
