No one tests on firefox anymore, is sad how firefox is being ignored more and more everyday.

This is a Google-specific problem. YouTube Gaming launched only working on Chrome as well. One of Google's web UI frameworks wrapped text by breaking words of any size mid-letter, if you weren't on Chrome for a while. (It would cut "the" if it felt like it during a word wrap.)

My browser, Edge, is simply blocked on Google Fonts.

It seems like Google is more and more dependent on automated testing for all if it's deployments, perhaps since everyone internally uses Chrome, nobody notices when those tests are lacking on other browsers. Google would do well to reintroduce "humans" into their development process, and maybe open their new websites once in each major browser before they push a release.

It's been said that Chrome is the new IE. It sounds like hyperbole until you get bit by it.

This makes sense, because it has also been said that Google is the new Microsoft.

In my department every developer uses a different browser as their primary browser. I only use Firefox, another only uses Chrome and another only uses Safari.

That's a very smart way to enforce ad-hoc testing in every browser. Probably prevents a lot of "works on my machine" issues.

I've worked for companies with no defined browser support, and other clients which required us to test in IE6-9, FF, Chrome, Safari, Mac FF, Mac Chrome, Mac Safari. It took FOREVER, so we ended up automating a lot of it.

From my experience with front-end dev's it's not that they don't test in Firefox but rather they only test in Chrome. I've worked with FE devs who insisted it was unreasonable to expect them to test in all the major browsers.

Web devs as a group seem to be ridiculous. Note this doesn't mean everyone just a greater incidence of such.
