Tell HN: Firefox is being slowly deprecated by the industry

I found 2 instances within the last 2 days. Are there other companies doing this?

Apple Business says: There’s an error; You’re either on an unsupported browser or viewing this site on a mobile device. Switch to a supported browser.

This is nothing new for any browser, unless you believe in the mid-late 2000s Chrome was being "slowly deprecated by the industry" for sites that refused to work with Chrome.

These are just lazy developers, or developers who don't want to bother testing against FF. It happens. Move on. This is not some industry trend.

Oh, but AI has made the cost of development so low! It doesn't cost much to do cross-browser tests anymore. /s :-)
