What, precisely, is the cost?
- Larrikin 6y agoLazy web devs that only test in Chrome and maybe safari that constantly break things in other browsers. I don't mind sending the angry support email and using chrome for a single task here and there but others might.
- adrianN 6y agoI never used Chrome and never encountered a website that didn't work on Firefox. I think this concern is a bit overblown.
- Larrikin 6y agoBank of America didn't work for the better part of last year. Chase Rewards are currently broken since last week. Its easy to drop small sites that don't test but my experience has been they actually bother testing and it's the major sites that actually have problems.
- thejynxed 6y agoI've had Firefox fail to work properly on the sites of Slashdot, Amazon, Newegg, Chase, BoA, GE, Walmart, the IRS, PennDOT, Mozilla's own org site, WaPo, NPR, Fox, Disney, and a whole host of others.
- CathedralBorrow 6y agoEffort, time, unlearning workflows and re-learning them in Firefox, etc. Switching costs would probably have been a better term to use.
