@julia I love how they even put "One of the recommended browsers" when they only have a singular browser on the list. Might as well just say "We don't care about supporting your lame ass non chrome browser, go download chrome"

we recommend google chromeno you're not "recommending" it you're holding your website hostage
Chester (Carlos D. Nascimento)@julia ๐ก what browser and website were those, if you can say? Asking for a friendโฆ
@chesterbr see the alt text, but the website is a product bought by a medical practice that I am a patient of, so I'm going to refrain from sharing it for my own privacy.
@julia thanks! Indeed, in my experience, the medical sector indeed leaves something to be desired in terms of web standards, universality and accessibility, to say the least.
With Firefox getting near the 2% barrier (which is the threshold for mandatory support in many jurisdictions), I am afraid weโll see more of those, which is a net loss for security, innovation and privacy ๐.
zgred@julia @chesterbr ah, the Medtech Spywareโข๏ธ, a lot of which will not even work in EEA due to how much it violates the GDPR.

ari melody ๐ซ@julia """one""" of these recommended browsers
uh huh
Elodyke ๐ฝ๐ช๐ธ๐ @CrebboElodie problem is the non-tech-savvy user would be easily convinced that every one of those browsers are fundamentally different
they aren't mentally ill like us- they don't know the web landscape is basically that scene where squidward loses it over everything being chrome
