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.

            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 🤣.

              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.

            Were you alive during the time when IE was only supported? We don’t want to go back to a time like that. We learn from history.

        I mean it’s not a bad point, IE once had the market dominance that chrome does now. By all means continue only supporting one engine but at least be aware that you’re gambling on the browser market not shifting again as it has done in the past.

          Look, its not like we wont notice a shift like that. It would be very easy to adapt if the situation warranted.
