  1. standards-positions

    WebKit's positions on emerging web specifications (by WebKit)

    I searched that page and their github repo for "inputmode" (my example from before you posted) and couldn't find anything.

    https://github.com/WebKit/standards-positions/issues?q=input...

    I'd love to find out if the webkit project is aware of that part of the standard and if so, their official position on it. I can't imagine why they'd oppose it.

  3. caniuse

    Raw browser/feature support data from caniuse.com

  4. uBlock

    uBlock Origin - An efficient blocker for Chromium and Firefox. Fast and lean.

    uBlock Origin works best on Firefox: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-works-b...

  5. analytics.usa.gov

    The US federal government's web traffic.

    if any browser is the new IE, it's Firefox -- poor compatibility, very few people use it, but enough that makes people think we need to support it

    https://analytics.usa.gov/

    We're now at 0.8% Firefox usage on Gov't websites, that means Firefox support is no longer required at a gov't level (2% usage is the threshold)

    Firefox should be shut down in 2025 if all trends continue

  6. standards-positions

    I stand corrected. It was the absolute legends at Igalia. See links and explainer here: https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/528
