Chrome implements features that aren't standards track into their browser, and lazy/oblivious devs use these features to build their products - only to realize wayyy too late it won't work in Safari/Firefox because it uses APIs that are chrome only

Firefox still has no month or week inputs. These things have been standardized 10 years ago and implemented in Chrome as of version 20.

Probably the reason it was never implemented is that it's barely an inconvenience. The input just fallback into a text field.

Probably because the week input is just a date picker that applies Math.floor() on the result, and month inputs are better suited for a ``

That input sucks, ui design and its not intuitive at all. Its more frustrating that I can't just type dates in

That input sucks, ui design

I have no clue what you’re trying to tell me with that.
