    Sometimes the president or CEO just doesn’t give a shit even when devs tell them otherwise.

    Devs don’t always get a lot of choice when the upper management thinks chrome is better

    It’s why baracuda only really advertised in airport terminals everywhere.

      The devs can tell management they’ll make it work on Chrome while really making it work cross-browser. It’s not too hard to make a site cross-browser these days, except for Safari sometimes having weird bugs.

        Pfft, who would do that? As a Firefox user myself I never would. Carve out a bit of time on the down-low to enhance cross-browser support on a website after management shortsightedly told me to just block anything other than Chrome? No no no! Not me!

        Of course as others here (including you) have pointed out, it’s much less of an issue these days. Though it does still happen, it’s nowhere near as bad as the IE days (that browser can burn in hell for all eternity!).
