(Some) sites don't work on Firefox. Sure it isn't frequent, but it is frequent enough that once a day or so I have to open chrome to do something.
Seriously curious what sites those are, especially if it's not the same page every day. It literally never occurs to me (using Firefox again since 3-4 years) but I mostly browse dev-related websites.
And that's why if a developer doesn't use Firefox and uses Chrome, they are just helping a monopoly take over everything and make a mess.

What I find most interesting about this is that a lot of supposed "smart" algorithms of Big Tech are in fact a patchwork of "dumb" rules rules and human-picked winners. This would explain why the quality of search results is failing to keep up with developments in LLMs. This also explains why it's impossible for incumbents to unseat the winners in many search categories -- because they've literally been picked as the…

Developers just replaced IE as the only thing they develop for with chrome, users then _have_ to use chrome because of web developers who only develop for chrome and consider any behaviour other than "it works in chrome" as a bug in other browsers, just as they did with IE. Then there's the relentless parade of "alternative browsers" that are just chrome skins - a period IE also went through - that intentionally try…
You’re conflating lots of unrelated things. IE was a horrible browser to support because Microsoft deliberately implemented their own incompatible version of web standards, or refused to implement modern standards. The push to deprecate IE was because it was creating a massive burden, I personally dealt with IE6 support in corporate world and can attest it’s depreciation was necessary. What you call chrome skins isn’…
