I'll be happy to put up a PR to remove the .tiff block from readme.md, but I'd like some opinions from others about whether or not this is the right path, if we should descend into a discussion about browser market share, or other. I guess in the end it's up to each installation to determine which file types are supported, but this came as a surprise to us.
We added previewers to Harvard Dataverse and noticed that tiffs did not work as expected in both the embed and explore mode for Firefox and Chrome:

Stackoverflow and Wikipedia helped me determine that tiffs are displayed in Safari and IE, but not Firefox and Chrome:
