Part of me wonders in a world with evergreen browsers if that long tail won’t simply shrink as time goes on.

I have yet to run into Java applets or Internet Explorer required situations in years. As far back as 2016 I’d occasionally find myself having to deal with both of these things. Still rare in 2016 but it was there.

Eventually I never saw it again.

That said, I’m not sure what gaps exist that I don’t perceive either, so I could be wrong and not know it
