Your whole site doesn't have to support a particular browser. You can do checks for individual features, or you can just check what browser people are using, and warn them when they enter the site. For example, I'm using javascript to get audio permissions, record some mic audio, convert it to .mp3, and upload it in a post request using AJAX. Only the very newest version of Safari supports the required technology. Edge supports it, but IE11 does not. FF and Chrome support it on both Android and Windows, but not (yet) on Apple. I know all those browsers will probably support the technology some time in 2019-- so in my case, I have to check support for the FEATURE, rather than the browser.
If I try to use the recording feature, and there is an error, then I can simply pop up a dialogue: "This page requires functionality which your browser does not support. Please use the newest version of:
-Chrome for Windows
-Firefox for Windows
-Chrome for Android
My case is special, though-- my users are existing customers, and they will feel left out if they can't use the functionality. In other words, I can count on them to take the effort to go find a better browser and try again. Obviously, not all sites will be able to do that.
I suspect that the WAY you said things might have been part of your banning, not only your political position. At the risk of minimizing the importance of your country in the global community, I seriously doubt a huge company like Facebook cares enough about the politics to police and ban people based on their positions.
But if you say "fucking lying serb pieces of shit" or "fucking Croat pieces of shit," then while you might feel justified in your position, you are very likely to get red-flagged and removed.
I had this problem in the game League of Legends. One team mate over and over let his laner roam and attack me, and never listened to pings. He then blamed me for dying to his laner, and I said "Dude, stfu. You let that guy fucking rape me in the jungle." I instantly got banned for using offensive language, even though in the context I felt perfectly justified in cursing at that guy.
Remember that-- these days, you have to play a victim card: "Oh. . . my feelings aren't being heard. My humanity is under attack. These guys are violating my sense of cultural and national identity!" Then you're fine. They are likely to be the ones banned.

And not only is it full of fake news, but if you say that mainstream media might have got some important topic wrong, you will get routinely shut up.
It's quite ironic that that Facebook censorship claims to be anti-racism. Here in Croatia, that story of the Genocide of Vukovar (that the Serbs, the most numerous national minority in Croatia, are genocidal maniacs and that Croats did everything they could to stop them) is used to justify nationalism and racism in the government. Yet, if you say that maybe that story isn't completely true, you get banned from Facebook.
Though, how much a web-page is shared on Facebook is a good predictor to how many views it will get, right?
