Nah. People making decisions don't care. Firefox usage will be reported as super low, and it won't be tested.

And users who report having issues with Firefox will be told to use Chrome (that is what's already happening)

And we will shout back : )

I'm already on it as might be seen here.

Feel free to complain loud and clear if it doesn't work in FF. Make it clear that FF support isn't optional.

Also on my to do list: complain even more, including to relevant authorities about Googles abuse of market position to push their browser. Feel free to join me here as well.

(And to be sure: feel free to complain when supposedly mainstream sites doesn't work in any major browser - safari, edge, FF and even Chrome : )

We make noise, we will shout back, but even if the noise we're making eventually resolves to something positive, let's not kid ourselves, it will take _time_.

In the meantime, FF support (while, for now, relatively inexpensive/free if you just use web standards) will just continue being optional considering Chromium's quasi-monopoly.

This is why I use FF for development(and all other browsing). I get firefox support by default on all my work.

Not at all unlike back in the IE6 days. Back when the response from geekdom was a loud and resounding, "fuck that!"

Suckiness of the browser situation aside, I fear I'll soon be coming to miss those days.
