I'm not so worried.

I don't visit any US government sites ever, and very few corporate sites. The ones that I have problems with (Microsoft O365 in particular!!) are easily faked by setting the user agent to Edge on Windows. That magically solves everything (proving that Microsoft is deliberately breaking the experience on Firefox!).

But "Supporting" a browser doesn't really mean very much. As long as the browser is standards compliant it will still work.

FTFY

"This website is best viewed in IE" was not just a misguided suggestion from the webmasters. It was a statement that the site may rely on nonstandard IE-specific features.

How confident are you that Apple and Google will never agree to add some matching non-standard "extension APIs" to Safari and Chrome?
