It is hard justifying extra effort for those 2.2% marketshare, unless you count in idealism. And most companies are there for profit.
- kaba0 2y agoEdge and samsung internet are basically the same as chrome, so there are only 3 browsers to check. Especially that most stuff just works fine across the browsers, it’s not like cross-platform across OSs, it really is a bare minimum.
- beretguy 2y agoThere are only 3 browsers these days pretty much: Chrome, Safari, Firefox. It really shouldn’t be hard to test.

To me, this attitude always sounds like a local business owner choosing to randomly kick 1 out of every 45 customers out of his store. Is it really that much time/cost/effort to test one more browser?
- lukan 2y ago"Is it really that much time/cost/effort to test one more browser?" As someone who has over the years all in all spend months of work on catering to FF, I say yes. It is not the testing. But the fixing of bugs that costs time. Time most buisnesses apparently rather invest elsewhere.
