Is there a reason why? Less funding? Web devs don’t make the pages Firefox friendly? Since the user base is smaller, they just don’t care?

Aaah so you and your company were proponents of the “This Site is optimised for Internet Explorer”
Ok boomer.
Woah such a scathing retort.
Perhaps consider the accessibility angle why it’s a bad idea only catering to one browser and that your team/company should do better than that.
It was humorous. I try to take stuff lightly.
Its not a bad idea. Nobody uses Firefox. We tested and there is no reason for us to start putting in the effort.
well thanks to companies like yours, its not surprising that the trend is going downwards. Pfft who needs a vendor free Web after all, eh? Everything’s Google now, yay!
Trend is down, somebody just wrote it’s up 🤣.
Look, I don’t care. I don’t. I use what works and I develop for what works. Then I go home and spend time with my family.
I have no interest of progressing any agenda for anyone. If mozzila what’s to be a player, they should address the reasons why no one is using their browser. That for sure ain’t me.
except you and your company do and you are being ignorant of that.
but hey, as long as it puts the meal on the table…
Not ignorat at all. Very conscious about it all. I very consciously don’t want to use a browser that breaks some websites and apps.
it seems we are going in circles.
You are willingly and consciously accepting the Web to be dominated by the biggest “do evil” ad firm called Google, do I get this right?

Look I understand you are offended. I didn’t mean to offend you. But I’m not calling anyone names I’m defensive because this has been an all out attack on me! But I didn’t take it personally, this is my opinion, it’s clear that many share it otherwise not so many websites would be broken on Firefox.
I’m just calling it like it is.
Really nice deflection. I have news for you. It’s not about you and certainly not about being offended. It’s about building a better internet and not repeating past mistakes.
Huh
You think you’ve enlightened a bunch of people on a heavy Linux user platform about Chrome’s dominance? Sir, we are aware. It was the rudeness and ignorance people are responding to.
Omg grow up. It was a joke. Relax dude. Chill. People get worked up about the stupidest things.
I shared my experience and all I got was relentless attacks that I tried to answer and attacks everywhere.
I’m not a soldier, I use what works and develop for what works. I don’t give a shit about you or your community. Especially if this here is the community. A bunch of humorless assholes with no self reflection and no sense of self irony.
Well not all. Some were pretty cool. You not. Bye.

I mean it’s not a bad point, IE once had the market dominance that chrome does now. By all means continue only supporting one engine but at least be aware that you’re gambling on the browser market not shifting again as it has done in the past.
Look, its not like we wont notice a shift like that. It would be very easy to adapt if the situation warranted.
If it were really that easy to adapt there would be no reason not to support Firefox in the first place…
At that point its out of your hands. Once the users have fully decided only one browser is all they’re going to use, because most websites only develop for that browser (gee sound familiar?) then whoever owns that browser owns the web. That’s the point people are trying to get you to understand and you aren’t getting.
This has has happened before. It took over a decade to get people to start using other browsers. Your little company can’t wave a magic wand and make the entire internet ecosystem shift, even though you were part of the cause.
Firefox market share is going up. But because small vendors not testing on it, it’s preventing its adoption. So you’re letting Google own the web.
That is a wild and completely wrong assertion. I’m not Microsoft. Im a guy that has used Firefox last year and the experience was sub par. So I switched back.
I’m not letting anyone do anything. You are exaggerating to the absurd.
Those were your words – you said you would notice a shift like that and adapt, which to me is saying you think you could undo the harm once you noticed it. Maybe you worded it wrong.
What harm? What are you taking about?
If some miracle happened that all of a sudden Firefox would have a critical mass of users, we would start checking it. It’s not a big deal.
