> There's plenty of other chromium browsers - Vivaldi seems to do a good job in this regard.

Being chromium derivatives, they don't really have a say in what's included in “their” browser though.

> Also, Firefox exists

Well, you disregarded is as “arcane browser” right above.





In what way did I call Firefox arcane? Firefox generally has better support for web features than safari.

It has less than 5% market share left…

it is included in Baseline and passes more tests than safari, so i would hardly call it arcane

Yet people treat it as such and drop support. Remember this is the comment you argued in favor above: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45590086

> From business perspective it makes a lot of sense to just drop that bottom 5%. Actually, many businesses support Chrome only, they don't even support Firefox.
