I've said it before and I'll say it again. If your site doesn't work on Firefox your site doesn't work. As web developers your job is to develop applications for the web not for one specific browser. This goes double for essential services.
My job requires login to most internal websites via Microsoft Azure AD SSO using Kerberos authentication using passwordless, smart card auth.
This switch happened this week. Up until yesterday I was 100% Firefox until this.
Firefox for MacOS is not able to do this. I spent an hour or so looking for solutions. Chrome on MacOS also doesn't. Safari does and now I have to fucking use Safari FFS.
Could be worse. You could have to use Chrome.
Eh, I'd still take Chromium anything over the dumpster fire that is Safari
Or use Edge
Doesn't really matter to a regular user, in that case it's"Firefox doesn't work"
"ugh just use a normal browser"
That's some BS. You and i both know that Chromium has the largest share in the browser business, so it makes sense from a development perspective to develop websites that will reach the most people. It's on Firefox to optimise their browser so that it can run these sites as well.
On the same line of thought, we should remove sidewalks and bike lanes because cars use the road more
That's a pretty crooked line of thought
A single company shouldn't be able to dictate how the web works.
Well too bad, because that's how things are
Wrong again, sparky.
Nope
