I remember ages ago websites were all focused on "works best on Internet Explorer" or "please use Netscape for the best experience"
We managed a good solid decade after that where browsers all somewhat caught up to each other and now we're going back that way again, with each website just YOLO implementing APIs that aren't fully supported (with no polyfils or fallbacks)
When you did that back in IE7/8/9, you missed out on rounded corners or drop shadows, now whole parts of apps won't work unless you're on chrome 🤯
