We can not tolerate tiptoeing around subjects simply because someone's "faith" might be offended.
Firstly, I don't know how you conclude Safari has the majority of market share on Mac.
> Chrome is convenient, but I'm not about to start using Opera or Safari because Google is making a better browser.
Chrome uses far more battery and processing power to achieve the same task as Safari. Safari animates content smoother and scrolls pages smoother. I would conclude Safari is currently the best web browser, despite it being slightly behind Chrome in standards support.
> ignoring standards like "filter: blur()"
This is false.
> implementing their own "backdrop-filter" that no other browser uses
This is false. Backdrop filter support is planned in all browsers except Edge currently. You can enable it with a Chrome flag. I should also mention it is a huge advancement for creating blurs on the web.
> Chrome and Firefox are the leaders in feature advancement
I don't see how you can consider Firefox a leader anymore. That browser is a mess, hopefully they make a comeback.
My understanding of his argument is that CMS software traps the nonprofit while quite the opposite is true. CMS software actually gives a nontechnical user many more options to get work done on their site outside of the programmer community. Anyone can hire a cheap Wordpress guy.
This whole idea that we are trapping anyone or locking them into some expensive solution is laughable. One of our customers who is 70+ years old owns a nonprofit doing 1MM+ revenue/yr. He's been paying $5000 a month for their Wordpress site hosting. That means when he switched to us he saved hundreds of thousands of dollars in the grand scheme. This is an extreme case but many of our users have been overpaying for things they really don't need.
I just don't understand how anyone can criticize what we are doing as harming nonprofits. He's living in a fantasy if he thinks the average nonprofit can even understand what "static site" means.
