Is the whole internet being designed for Google Chrome?

Everything except LibriVox (yes, this is where knitting gets discussed. Now includes non-LV Volunteers Wanted projects)

I came across a word in my solo: mascled.

It means lozenge shaped. Applied to armour here.

A few online dictionaries had it. Most didn't. Nobody says how to say it; I'm on my own. Fine. I'll say it like muscled but with the short 'a'.

Forvo has not got the word in it. It asked me to add it. So I tried to make a Forvo account. But I filled it all in and it wouldn't go. That has to be Google Chrome; I use Firefox. Welcome to Internet Explorer allover again.

To answer your question in the subject line in short: yes.

Have you considered complaining? Like in "I'd love to contribute, but my FF doesn't work and I do not use GC. Could you look into the issue please?"

I would assume that if more people complain... yes, I'm an optimist. :D
Making websites accessible for different browsers costs money those places don't want to spend.

No. I know of at least two websites that aren't: LibriVox and our church website. 8-)

(I haven't had issues with websites while using FF. Perhaps it's an ad blocker or script blocker or other privacy add-on causing the issue?)
