Is there a reason why? Less funding? Web devs don't make the pages Firefox friendly? Since the user base is smaller, they just don't care?

Aaah so you and your company were proponents of the "This Site is optimised for Internet Explorer"

Woah such a scathing retort.

Perhaps consider the accessibility angle why it's a bad idea only catering to one browser and that your team/company should do better than that.

It was humorous. I try to take stuff lightly.

Its not a bad idea. Nobody uses Firefox. We tested and there is no reason for us to start putting in the effort.

Nobody uses Firefox

well thanks to companies like yours, its not surprising that the trend is going downwards. Pfft who needs a vendor free Web after all, eh? Everything's Google now, yay!

Trend is down, somebody just wrote it's up ๐Ÿคฃ.

Look, I don't care. I don't. I use what works and I develop for what works. Then I go home and spend time with my family.

I have no interest of progressing any agenda for anyone. If mozzila what's to be a player, they should address the reasons why no one is using their browser. That for sure ain't me.

except you and your company do and you are being ignorant of that.

but hey, as long as it puts the meal on the table...

[โ€“] NoiseColor@startrek.website -1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Not ignorat at all. Very conscious about it all. I very consciously don't want to use a browser that breaks some websites and apps.

it seems we are going in circles.

You are willingly and consciously accepting the Web to be dominated by the biggest "do evil" ad firm called Google, do I get this right?
