Ask HN: Why has Firefox still no support for the html 5 date element?
Just curious, because Chrome has it since 2012 and even Microsoft Edge supports the new date input.
Firefox however is the only major browser that does not support the date input type. The only reason that I load a date picker plugin nowadays is for Firefox compatibility (in my country, nearly nobody uses Opera or Safari).

- limeblack 9y agoThere are potyfills for this for example here https://www.npmjs.com/package/date-input-polyfill https://www.npmjs.com/package/date-input-polyfill Not sure why Firefox doesn't support it.
- jfoster 9y agoInteresting question. It's something that is extremely common, and doesn't seem too difficult to implement.
