In my company I now have 3 browsers.

Chrome for company stuff that only works in Chrome.

Safari for company stuff that only works in Edge or Safari.

And Firefox for actual work.

🤡

Why do you subject yourself to DumpsterFireFox?

@iSwimInTheC To do actual work

@iSwimInTheC never had any issues with ff and it’s my favorite browser

I use LibreWolf for most things because it doesn't follow group policy so extensions aren't banned, Edge for things that require SSO and for debugging because it's the only one VS has good integration for, and Brave for YouTube and Messenger because Meta and Google sabotage their sites on Firefox-based browsers.

@lorentz holy crap! 😂

@Lensflare The UI tests are written for a proprietary selenium wrapper that only works with regular Firefox, but I don't have it because they also require a ton of other configuration so they live on one dedicated machine in the office and run once per day and before deployments.

@lorentz I don’t know about you but I'm kind of losing my trust in humanity when I encounter stuff that works in specific browsers only in 2025.

@Lensflare well, selenium also requires an external driver protocol which uses a combination of socket files and executables to work and at one point I think also supported DLLs using C ABI as a fallback, so it's annoying but not the least bit surprising that it doesn't work the same in every browser.

why the webdriver protocol isn't just a TCP protocol I will never understand.
