    Remember that it is purely an artificial limitation. The web has open standards that either browser should be (and is) fully capable of delivering even damn videogames in the browser.

    The ONLY reason businesses limit the browser is either because they’re being lazy fucks and don’t want to test on more than two or three browsers and whitelist what they test… Or they’re doing shady sh*t that requires some APIs these guys talk about (not the exact same ones, but same idea).

    There are ways to transpile and use polyfills automatically so that even the craziest crap works across all browsers: The only reasons to not support it are bad ones.

      I think in most cases it’s just laziness, cheapness, or incompetence. I feel pretty confident in saying that with Ticketmaster it’s because they want all of your information and Firefox is harder to exploit.
