> Firefox is there, it's being maintained, and you can use it. Many people do. Blanket stating that that is not an option is kind of weird.

I use Firefox every day. The author tries to make it sound like the old days where a lot of websites simply didn't work without IE (for instance, because they needed ActiveX exposing the internals of your OS). I never run into Chrome-only sites. Heck, it's 2021 and I regularly use Firefox to run Office 365 on Linux.

Google talk/hangouts/whatever else they call it this month.

WebAssembly features post MVP 1.0.

PWAs capabilities.

I use meets with Firefox; works fine.

Web assembly still has a lot of mozilla people involved; so fine as well.

PWAs kind of failed in the market because Apple can't be bothered and the desktop experience was always kind of meh; even on Chrome. Worth noting of course that they pushed hard on this while Firefox OS was still a thing for mobile.

PWAs are starting to rule the mobile Web apps, Apple hardware only matters across tier 1 countries.

All those places around the globe where PC and Android rule, local companies don't have any issues targeting what 99% of their customers are using.
