Why some browsers don't work
PDFy reads your folder using the File System Access API. The whole "no uploads" promise depends on it: PDFy hands the picker to your browser, your browser returns a handle to the folder you pick, and PDFy reads files via that handle. No file ever crosses the network.
Firefox and Safari haven't shipped the API. They could, and probably will eventually, but as of this writing they don't. PDFy detects the missing API on the editor route and redirects to a friendly explanation page so you don't sit looking at a broken button.
Mobile
Chromium-based mobile browsers (Chrome on Android, Edge on Android) implement the API, but the folder picker UX on mobile is awkward and the small screen makes the three-pane editor hard to use. PDFy is best on desktop.
