the internet/web itself is a decentralized model and yet think of how often you see a website that “only works/works best on Google Chrome”
That's because developers making websites don't want to bother to test their thousands of lines of application code on a bunch of different browsers.... is your argument that Threads will join the fediverse and then people arent going to test whether their 150 characters of text will work with Lemmy before posting and then all us Lemmy user's are going to quit because it's simply too much for Lemmy to render 150 characters of text and maybe an image?
I don't think I've ever seen that though. Can I get an example?
Gov websites
Which ones? I’m on the VA one and USAjobs quite a lot and have had no issues with Firefox.
A link would be helpful.
But tbh that’s not a great example. If we’re talking an about orgs like the DoD, they have a horrendous track record. Some of their shit still required IE after it was deprecated.
I was in the Air Force and worked as a contractor for years after.
I only ever see it on Google's own websites (who woulda guessed) e.g. Google Earth
there are very few sites that work on chromium but not on gecko or webkit, though.
