Now here's another reason to not use Firefox and to stick with Chrome. Google knows this and is using this to its advantage with its long-range plan to lock people onto its proprietary Android-based services. Maybe they're sick of the geek-led browser wars that flare up every so often. No wonder people are clamoring for walled-garden app stores and dumbed down apps. This "my browser or the highway" attitude is still very strong and we need to stop pretending its a legitimate way to manage the web. I won't even go into the issues I've had with Opera, AOSP browser, dolphin, midori, and others. Now we're constantly reaping this negativity. The problem is we let web culture degenerate into a "my browser or the highway" attitude thanks to the fuel uber-geeks poured on the IE6 fire. Or if I'm using IE11 for work, suddenly I hit a site that either tells me to get lost or warns me that I'll get a better experience with Chrome. Since IE10 a lot of the standards argument has been bunk and I've run into a lot of sites lately that tell me, "Oh this html5 feature is only on Chrome, so use that" when I use Firefox. It's almost certainly being deliberately excluded from accessing the Play store for what can only be described as malicious reasons. There's almost definitely no way that the Play store doesn't work on Firefox. These days the situation is very different. Telling users to upgrade was a perfectly sensible thing to do in these cases – if it was suitable message for your customer base. It was a significant and in some cases crippling workload to support end-of-life browsers that were lacking features such as e.g. Generally this didn't show for newer versions – though you're right in that a minor number of 'douch-baggy' sites did. You're not really giving the whole story here.Ī lot of people slapped a 'Don't use IE, it's old and broken message" on their sites because it was old and broken. Now that the bell is tolling for Firefox, its a different story, eh?
Weren't we all applauding some startup that had a douche-bagy "We dont support IE" message on their site and everyone here was so excited about it.
