You have to understand; supporting different browsers is a lot of work and cannot be stemmed by a small band of mavericks like this. It would need some big organization with serious engineering capacity.
That’s beyond laughable. As a solo developer at multiple startups this is hardly a dent in my time spent building web apps. The smoke test is that if you’re struggling with cross-browser compatibility, you’ve already done 100 other things wrong.
I’m pretty confident that the comment you’re replying to was intended to be ironic.
Yup, same here. As a web developer I'm always baffled when I have to make things work everywhere all the time but when it's Google they're like "oops, looks like you need to install another software to use our stuff".

Instantly clicked on the close button.

I had assumed checking the source was the first warmup.
