            Bug ID: 181982
           Summary: Add user agent quirk for a site (mail.ntu.edu.tw)
                    which is known to run Microsoft Outlook Web App
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Local Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Gtk
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

I still remember this comment which said I can file a request to add user agent quirks for internal domains.

I am going to upload a patch to add https://mail.ntu.edu.tw/ to the list of NeedsMacintoshPlatform. This site runs Microsoft Outlook Web App to provide webmail and calendar services for students and faculties in National Taiwan University. Microsoft Outlook Web App blocks users from accessing the calendar or the full version of the webmail when it decides that a browser is unsupported.

I remember there is a browser compatibility list (written in Chinese) on Microsoft website, but I can no longer find it since a few years ago. If I remember correctly, it lists the following browsers as 'compatible':

Windows: IE, Firefox, Chrome
macOS: Safari, Firefox
Linux: Firefox

This means using any browser other than Firefox on Linux disables the full version of the application. It also means all browsers on *BSD are forced to use the light version. Some old versions of Microsoft Outlook Web App shows an unclickable checkbox next to text 'Use the light version'. The current version running on mail.ntu.edu.tw simply hides the checkbox, and users will see the light version interface after successfully logged in.
