  amazingly the security settings pages on Google do not require Chromeisms
• 02:06
  tomman

  Google Drive complains about "unsupported browser", but works fine, albeit with intense CPU usage

  even the ESR version of Firefox is "unsupported" for many sites now
• 02:26
  tomman
  is it like every team at Google has different opinions on which load of chromeisms to deploy on each project
• 02:27
  tomman
  Docs and Drive are likely to work on non-"evergreen" browsers, and I guess whoever manages the user security module really do not want to deal with angry feedback

  tomman
  other less popular features? Go wild, the only browser that matters is the latest Chrome beta!

  firefox's non-ESR versions have all kinds of annoying UI bugs
