gcaptain is not a train wreck, it assumes that the reader is in the maritime industry and uses terminology that is widely known to that specific industry segment. much as a network engineering or software development news site and acronyms might be even more confusing to people who hold 100 ton+ masters licenses.

look at all the weird sounding terms that might be used in an infosec/netsec publication...

It's a visual trainwreck on firefox, with elements being blocked by interstitials in the first load that have their dismissal button shifted into a weird and hard to find place. Once that was cleared up it was pretty readable.

I'm a bit confused by that; I'm on Firefox and I see nothing wrong with the site at all. It loaded fine and looks fine. That's with full protection turned on and the Disconnect plugin loaded as well. Any idea what was interfering with it on your setup?

[tomrod]

Is Firefox still a common target for development? I thought their marketshare had fallen below 1%?

I stand corrected, it's hovering just under 4% on average per https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share#monthly-2021...

[tedivm]

That site puts it at 7.5% if you just look at desktops- and, weirdly enough, 9.5% if you look at last month instead of this month (which is more in line with previous months). It has been trending upwards as well over the last few months.

Eh, you've got to be an absolutely awful developer if you can't have a website render properly in a browser that follows 99.5% of the same standards as the "relevant" top dawg.

I guess all the people who made sites work in fucking Internet Explorer have moved on to better positions or retired :D

[runarberg]

Yes it is. If a web dev creates a web page that is unusable in firefox, they are not doing a sufficient job.

[ianai]

Hmm. How does Firefox rank on netsec concerns? I would think better than Chrome and Safari since not backed by one of the oligopolists. Might be a good target for support regardless of share.

I don't know why you're being downvoted because the answer is no, Firefox is no longer relevant.

[runarberg]

Last month over 300 million pages were viewed with Firefox (a gross lower bound). This month an even more pages will likely be viewed with Firefox. Firefox remains the only popular independent browser. It has delegates in all web standard committees.

I don’t know what is your baseline for relevancy, but for most of us, this is more then enough to pass it.

[mdoms]

You can downvote me until the cows come home, it's still true fellas.

[tomrod]

I figured that had to be the case. Thanks!
