Of course, I won't. Indeed, I find the above quoted text very
disappointing. So, they just want to support a browser due to its
recent popularity? If another browser A became popular in 5 years,
they'd add support for that browser, too? And browsers B, C, D...?
Why are they so narrow-minded? Why do they word it that way, so that
it looks like a specific solution to a specific problem ONLY? They
don't have a more general solution? Do they have vision to the bigger
picture?
Instead, I'd prefer to hear: "We would make our XXX online service
more standards-compliant, so that customers using _any_ browser can
enjoy our service without problems. This will include customers using
Firefox, Safari, or any other standards-compliant browsers."
So, when will they be technically competent enough to do that?
