Three of those browsers are just Chromium reskins, how are they supporting Chrome but not them?

Brave is unsupported by a lot of websites, but almost always works (at least if you turn off shields).

"Unsupported" = "We don't test or develop with this browser in mind", not "This browser doesn't work." If that browser effectively mimics one that is supported, it usually works fine.

Why are you sharing this on this post?

I think it’s a reminder of what Mitchell’s priorities were as CEO: lining her pockets and funneling money to her political projects. She has deep ties at Google and after getting out of the Yahoo deal when Verizon bought them, she got a sweetheart deal from Google that was an 84% increase of revenue YoY. She then laid off 25% of the company that year. This last year she ran a budget surplus as she failed to hire as a…

You don’t understand how it works either. Mitchell is both the chair of the foundation and until like 2 weeks ago was the CEO. She had full control over where the money goes hence why she increased her pay so much. The foundation is sole owner of the corporation.

I'm not sure why this was voted so high or would be news to anyone. It's a single website and historically this is nothing new (IE used to be the only supported browser on nearly all sites, or the reverse became true once Chrome had enough traction while IE development languished). Firefox is not that popular of a browser. Not news at 11.

Yeah, I was wondering about this. Who the heck is PG&E and why is it newsworthy if a single company doesn't support Firefox browser fully?

> Who the heck is PG&E

For many people this is the power company. If you want electricity, you go through them. Needing to use specific browsers to get basic services is an accessibility problem.

PG&E is Pacific Gas and Electric. It provides utility services to tens of millions of people. They’re one of, if not the biggest single utility companies in the country.

It’s not like MomNPop, LLC.

"Don't worry, though... Regardless of your browser choice, we'll still hijack 'alt+back_arrow' to show you supported browsers instead of navigating to the previous page."

That'll teach me to try to eat leftover bbq with my primary hand while using the other to browse HN over lunch.
