Lots of doom and gloom comments here, but the post only refers to ending support on amazon echo and fire tv. The experience of using a(ny) browser on those devices was terrible. They probably saw usage numbers on those two devices were so low that support made no sense.
- bdcravens 6y agoThe UI is really weird; I only use the browser for videos where no app option exists.
- brundolf 6y agoIsn't the echo voice-only? How does that even work?
- popey 6y agoThe article says "Echo Show" which is a device with an integral display.
- cozzyd 6y agoI wouldn't browse HN on my FireTV, but it's great for live streams of various events, which seem to exist on a zillion different websites (I just watched a wedding this morning on my FireTV using Firefox)
- fencepost 6y agoThe most important and easy thing to miss is probably that this is on "DEVICES" not on "Tablets." You can still run it just fine on the color Amazon Android-based handhelds, it's the "IoT" category devices where it's going away. Honestly I wouldn't have predicted better than a 50% chance that Firefox ran on those anyway.
