I held off on Windows 10 for as long as I could until my job required it. Now this nonsense. I hope this isn’t the start of them joining on the web DRM bandwagon.

  • As a web dev imma play devils advocate and say I get it. Cross browser support is hard sometimes and Firefox has some of the weirdest quirks.

    That being said this isn’t some hobby project its a multi billion dollar company so absolutely they could be doing better.

      As a fellow web dev, I disagree! Cross browser support adds very little overhead in my experience, and not doing it in 2023 is really just lazy and unacceptable imo.

        Back in the day it was harder, especially supporting IE 11-, but now since there are really only 2-3 rendering engines to develop for it shouldn’t be as hard.

        Also, they already support safari which is the hardest browser to support of the group. Firefox support is trivial compared to making sure it looks good on safari.

        Yeah, they should have the resources to hire pretty much the best devs, it’s not like they are a startup or in some kind of backwater situation. They’re an old company with a big name and a lot of money.
