Unlike IE, Chrome is still moving forward with new features and depreciating old features.

Depreciating old "features" like supporting legacy OS versions which is infuriating. Firefox is an inadequate substitute because too many sites only work in Chrome.

I blame lazy developers for this mess all around, which had caused a perfect storm of shit on the nouveau web.

I've run into exactly zero sites, that don't want to update some firmware on some piece of hardware over usb, that don't work on firefox.

Congratulations.

Maybe in the future in lieu of additional testing, the development team should just check in with you, and if you declare it sunshine and rainbows, ship it.

Maybe in the future you can stop spreading fud about how everything only works in the most consumer hostile browser on the market.
