Hopefully this will be permanent.
- A4ET8a8uTh0 5y agoWe can only hope. In all seriousness, it feels like it was a long time coming. There were indications that web is moving towards one approved browser. It is just our luck that one browser is Chrome.
- Pxtl 5y agoHonestly, the number of complex web-applications that are degrading slowly in firefox is only getting longer. At my office: the HR benefits system is completely broken in FF, some of our training modules in the training system fail, Azure DevOps needs me to close the browser completely and re-open to clear some kind of JS or shadow state or something... It's bad and getting worse and I don't know how much longer I can stick with FF.

- Pxtl 5y agoI've run into a few older sites designed around IE quirks that have stopped working under MS Edge but run great in FF, actually. Sql Server 2012 Reports websites for example. Which makes sense - FF was designed to imitate some IE idiosyncracies that Chrome didn't care about, and Edge/Edgium uses Chrome renderer now.
- slowmovintarget 5y agoThis is because FF is enabling better privacy controls, and so many sites these days are designed to run in pants-down mode.
- danuker 5y agoNo more Reddit procrastination for me I guess. I hope so too.
- sevenf0ur 5y agoIt's for the best, really.
- nomorecommas 5y agoThere's a lot of useful information contained within Reddit, not just memes, celebrity worship, and porn. I'd like to see decentralized alternatives flourish.
