And the stupid prize is what? You might have to use a different browser? Doesn't seem that serious to me.

- tinus_hn 4y agoAs long as there is a different browser, of course.
- pkulak 4y agoThe stupid prize is that by the time you decide it's time to use a different browser, Firefox and Safari have been rendered totally unusable by developers only targeting Chrome because that's all they have to do.
- LegitShady 4y agoI use firefox every day without issue.
- lolinder 4y agoI use it every day as my primary browser, but there's definitely been an increase in applications that will not work except on Chrome. It's not text content that's ever the issue, it's SaaS products.
- vlunkr 4y agoIt's your anecdote vs. mine, but this is not my experience. I find that Chrome is better for Google Meet (not surprising.) Other than that FF is fine. In the last 4-5 years have become increasingly similar and easy to support as a developer.

- croes 4y agoAnd then you realize all the web sites are optimized for chrome and you have problems using other browsers
- dvngnt_ 4y agogoogle maps is the only site that just didn't work
- lolinder 4y agoOut of the ones that you use, maybe (I've actually never had a problem with Google Maps). There are several applications that I have to use for work that either don't work on Firefox or have limited functionality, Slack being one of them (huddles only work in Chromium or in the Electron app).
