> How did they think the links were being used? Can't dig this document up right now, but in their Chrome dev process they say something along these lines: "even if a ferie is used by 0.01% of users, at scale that's a lot of users . Don't remove until you've made solely due impost is negligible". At Google scale I'm surprised [1] this is not applied everywhere. [1] Well, not that surprised

Yup, 0.01% of users at scale is indeed a lot of users. This is exactly why many big companies like Amazon, Google and Mozilla still support TLSv1.0, for example, whereas all the fancy websites would return an error unless you're using TLSv1.3 as if their life depends on it. In fact, I just checked a few seconds ago with `lynx`, and Google Search even still works on plain old HTTP without the "S", too — no TLS required whatsoever to start with. Most people are very surprised by this revelation, and many don't even believe it, because it's difficult to reproduce this with a normal desktop browser, apart from lynx. But this also shows just out how out of touch Walmart's digital presence really is, because somehow they deem themselves to be important enough to mandate TLSv1.2 and the very latest browsers unlike all the major ecommerce heavyweights, and deny service to anyone who doesn't have the latest device with all the latest updates installed, breaking even the slightly outdated browsers even if they do support TLSv1.2.

I guess the number of people who use Chrome to access files via FTP must be below 0.01% then. https://www.auslogics.com/en/articles/is-it-bad-that-google-removes-ftp/ https://www.auslogics.com/en/articles/is-it-bad-that-google-...
