Proxies work across all mainstream browsers. Only the rare IE holdout would be a problem.

I have an old MacBook Air that my daughter uses for school; it doesn’t support the evergreen version of MacOS/Safari, or Firefox or Chrome. I think Proxies have been around long enough that they are supported…but I’m waiting for the day that she can no longer use a browser on that machine, at which point I’ll either have to buy her a new one, or install some flavor of Linux. It’s a shame because the computer itself is totally serviceable!
There are probably still people here who use IE or browsers whose names no one remembers and only 3 people in the world use.
Hey, elinks still works just fine inside tmux over an ssh connection. Less hassle than getting the VPN running correctly if I just want to read a company intranet wiki page.
I'm fairly sure there are more people with various accessibility needs, so we can start worrying about those once everything is fully accessible.
it's the same three people though, and they're happy to support it themselves!
Not sure why you're getting downvotes because you are correct.
