Slack has locked me out because my browser – Waterfox 53.0.1, a perfectly legitimate third-party build of Firefox 53 – is "no longer supported". No explanation of precisely how, and not even the option to try and see if it works anyhow/

"Switch browsers or download our app!" The Slack "app" is just a bloody Chrome window anyhow, and there's a reason I don't allow Chrome on my system.

Fuck you, Slack.

From their FAQ:

"Q: Why block browsers instead of just making it clear they aren’t supported?"

"A: We want you to have the best experience of Slack that you possibly can. If we aren’t actively fixing issues or bugs in these browsers, your experience will suffer and we want to avoid that completely."

Well, I'm not having the best experience I possibly can, you meatheads. MY EXPERIENCE IS SUFFERING.

Fuck you, Slack. Fuck you very much.
