Like a true google hate inspired hipster I have been using Firefox for at least the past 9 years. Don't let one of the shittiest companies control even more of the world because you are too fucking lazy to switch to a different browser. If you have to deal with a few shitty websites made by morons that only work in chrome keep a secondary chromium install on standby when you have to hold your nose and use it.
In my experience even one of the platforms with moronic developers eventually fixed their Firefox support. I dunno if the surge in Linux users had anything to do with it or not, or if it was because I would browser there, make my payments fail then switch to the Falkon browser every single time.
Honestly I can only think of one. Weirdly a "developer platform"
Well I guess a couple more because keyboard firmware sites do that usb browser thing that terrifies me is a thing and only chrome supports.
For a while I think it was Papa Johns, or Dominos, some pizza chain site didn't work on Firefox. Worse than that though when I was in highschool I remember some school district stuff didn't work on Firefox
I have been a web dev for over 25... oh god... approaching 30 years, and most web dev teams with an ounce of self respect will spend the honestly trivial time to test against different browsers. I consider it a basic part of the god damn job. Even still banks and government sites seem to not give a fuck.
Firefox recently grew that terrifying WebSerial USB thing!
Nativia is a cross platform electron app that runs on your machine without network access and allows you to configure most of these keyboards. It's also open source.
