I became a Firefox user a few years ago to try and tilt the scale of Chrome’s dominance. I have to say that not having to worry about my privacy has been relieving.
In the time I’ve been a member of the #AltBrowserMovement, I’ve experienced my fair share of errors when trying to do things on the web. Being a developer, my first instinct has been to check the browser console for errors. If there’s a JS error, I’ve learnt to copy the URL of the page and try the same thing on Chrome. And surprise, surprise! What I tried doing before is now working; no console errors.
I can imagine that the not-so-tech-savvy are usually stuck from completing their tasks until the bug is fixed. This is a PSA announcement to all the frontend devs: Chrome is not the only browser out there even though it seems like it.
Write tests for all browsers and don’t skip the tests that fail. Us fox people will be happy.
