jeeper59682y@jAsE honestly, un-ironically to a degree. IE got more people online than anything else. Now, M$ monopolistic practices behind it doomed it to be hellish, but there is something to be said for ubiquity.
-
kamen69952y@Manuch Now that IE is no more and Edge is Chromium-based, it's exactly Safari that usually ends up needing extra attention (from web dev perspective). Not even Firefox, even though it uses a different engine.
-
jeeper59682y@kamen it’s not FireFox because everybody normal references MDN. And then there’s Apple.

max199313732y@hack if support Drops and Banner shows Alternative, the user will change Browsers.
Better to drop Windows Support and see then how the World is changing. -
max199313732y@kamen and they only get their support if they opensource all their software.
And force Adobe to support Linux. -
kamen69952y@max19931 I believe they wouldn't open source Edge for the same reasons they won't open source VSCode (the proprietary part of it), although there isn't a whole lot of infrastructure to Edge like there is to VSCode (the extension marketplace) since Edge can use the Chrome marketplace just fine.
As for Adobe on GNU/Linux, the only thing I can say is "keep dreaming". No intent to sound rude/hostile, I just realistically don't see it happening. -
Client: Microsoft dropped support for Internet Explorer so we're gonna stop using it now.
Also client: haha sike.
