I developed and tested my personal site on Firefox. If I were a professional web developer, I'd work just like you do.

But let's not kid ourselves. We're an absolute minority. For every one of us, there are hundreds, thousands of developers who literally do not give a shit so long as their paychecks hit their accounts. Actually they're likely to write Firefox off as some irrelevant niche market the company can afford to lose because it's less work for them if they do.

(1) I like to think that professional web developers are foxier than average

(2) It just takes one on the team to make the difference

(3) Practically compatibility with Firefox is pretty good. Maybe once a month I use an e-commerce site or other e-business site where I have to drop down to Chrome, Edge or Safari.

May our new AI co-workers put those thousands into the poorhouse for shoddy worksmanship.
