Eugen RochkoI've switched from Chrome to Firefox about a decade ago. It's just as fast and intuitive, and container tabs are a game changer. It always catches me off guard when I see its market share is so low.
DigitalStefan@Gargron I have no choice but to use Chrome professionally, but I also find it strange that FF has such a low share.
@digitalstefan What do you mean when you say you have to use Chrome professionally? A specific website that only works in Chrome?

@Gargron @digitalstefan Many businesses use Chrome as the primary (if not only) browser for their intranet (mine does). They used Internet Explorer years ago, but now it is Chrome.
Use another browser & everything gets crazy! 😂

@darnell @Gargron @digitalstefan I remember when for some corporate Internets you could only use Internet Explorer 6 for several years when everyone else had upgraded.
Corporate computing can move at a glacial pace sometimes.

I've had online medical appointments where the connection would only work through Chrome or Safari.
I'm sure it would have technically worked on Firefox, but the doctor's video chat system would just immediately reject it and tell me to install Chrome (which I didn't).
If I try to explain this as a problem to my doctor, they think I'm nuts.
(And I can understand that as doctors are not in IT, they think it's like someone complaining about the brand of telephone they use.)
There needs to be some IT-specific contact people can complain to if they're forced to use Chrome.

It makes me wonder how much of this is due to Google trying to bounce developers into rejecting Firefox, or whether it's just lazy developers trying to save money on browser testing.
@FediThing @onepict @darnell @Gargron I don't think it's always a dev's fault. Clients are the ones likely to say "I only need this to work on Chrome and Safari" and the dev agency will write a statement of work agreeing to that in order to win the job.
The site probably will work in Firefox. Standards are pretty well adopted across browsers now. They just might not "support" it working in Firefox.
@digitalstefan @onepict @darnell @Gargron
Yeah... sounds like it could be what happened 😞
It ought to just have a warning saying "not tested on firefox" instead of blocking it completely. It wasn't like it was a safety-critical system either.
