    I tried doing my annual vehicle registration online on FF yesterday and the dmv site kept throwing an error and bringing me back to step 1 when I submit my payment information. Tried turning off all my extensions and still wouldn’t budge. Finally tried it in Chrome and it worked instantly. You’d think government websites of all places would have compatibility with most popular browsers.

      Government websites don’t care at all about support, most of them were made 15-20 years ago and haven’t been updated at all

      dude i work with one that just recently added support for non-internet explorer… major. government. entity. places that are the reason for the required legacy i.e. code in edge.

      this government shit is based on ‘lowest bidder’ mentality.

      lol, I would never ever think that. government sites are just the worst fucking feverish web nightmare that exists, at least here where I live.

      it’s like they deliberately choose people for this kind of work whom never seen computers in their life before and think Internet is just an energy drink you buy at the gas station.
