  Seems a bit jaded tbh. Safari devs were giving tentative support, iirc Mozilla was also down to deprecate further. If you always listened to every user you’d drown in tech debt. Some stuff just isn’t worth it even if 0.5% love that feature.

    Yes let’s be like Microsoft and delete everything we can get away with no matter how shitty it makes things.

    Great job, really admirable.

    Especially since they could ship the JS polyfill With the browsers. Seems like a decent middle ground to me.
