### Site says I use an old/unsupported browser
### Old/unsupported browser
Some sites intentionally block Nativefier (or similar) apps, e.g. [Google](https://github.com/nativefier/nativefier/issues/831) and [WhatsApp](https://github.com/nativefier/nativefier/issues/1112).
First, try setting the [`--user-agent`](https://github.com/nativefier/nativefier/blob/master/API.md#user-agent) to `firefox` or `safari`.

This issue can occur because the cache of the app and the app itself are kept separate by default. You can try clearing out the cache.
This can occur because app cache lives separate from the app.
Try delete your app's cache, which can be found in `<your_app_name_lower_case>-nativefier-<random_id>` in your OS's "App Data" directory (for Linux: `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME` or `~/.config` , for MacOS: `~/Library/Application Support/` , for Windows: `%APPDATA%` or `C:\Users\yourprofile\AppData\Roaming`)
