Some of those government websites only work on chromium too, which is irritating

You guys know of government websites that actually work?

The ones hosted by my government literally shut down outside business hours...

Try to login to view your tax info for example and it'll tell you to come back 9-5 mon-fri.

For all the flaws of the UK our gov websites show information about gov laws and how to use services, and medical topics.

Back in the day it was the case with IE as well.

The cause?

At least in IE's case, deliberate siloing of non-standard features needed for table input.

Microsoft didn't have to write it that way, but they did, knowing it would capture a fucktonne of government and regulatory sites.

I had to support IE all the way to 2018 at one site because the only way they could pull permits was from an ancient government site that only supported IE.
