    Now sure how popular this is, but tbh,. Microsoft Edge is way better than Chrome. Yes I get it’s chromium underneath, and I also do agree. And no I don’t use Firefox, it doesn’t play well with our stack.

        I’m sure they’ll get right on convincing their comment too ditch a bunch of suggested they’re heavily invested again. Should be easy and not a career limiting move at all.

      Firefox beats almost everything else at the moment. Edge managed to make itself worse than chrome. I don’t need a browser that detects a credit card form and injects a predatory lending scheme to take advantage of me, no thanks. Not even Google has steeped that low yet.

      I have no idea what you mean by stack, but you definitely don’t deserve downvotes for this. You can use whatever you want.

        They are getting down voted because their choice of stack (the set of software that was chosen for use in developing an application) is being used as a means to absolve themselves of the responsibility of supporting the last available cross-platform alternative to anti-consumer, chromium based shit.

        If they had just not mentioned it or said they just don’t like Firefox, there wouldn’t be down votes.

        Anyone is free to use whatever they want, but the comment you’re responding to is just a shit take.

        My last job used a stack that was unfriendly to Firefox, but I still used Firefox as my main development browser so I could catch issues and work toward better interoperability.

        It’s all good mate. I knew what I was getting myself into. Saying anything pro-Microsoft is a heresy here, and not bowing to Firefox is a penal offense!!

      Doesn’t matter, this is about the popup.
