I mean, screw supporting old browsers

Given them a basic, single file uploaded with no fancy

A clean HTML5 implementation, with nice features, is more valued

Totally!

I mean, it's not like you can offer people the svelte, clean, fancy option and fall back to HTML POST if that doesn't work or anything. Nosirree.

Is this a form of self-satire? I don't understand what is going on here.

No, I genuinely would prefer the browser natively handle file transfers rather than relying on old browser plugins and lots of hacks to get old browsers to work
