Maybe?
If we (Web makers) stop making [ie,safari,android native browser] compatible websites... Maaaaybe, just sayin' maaaybee THEY will take some time to support web standards ?? maybe ?

@runfrodorun & if it works on firefox it should work on chrome & fuck the others 😬😬😬

i usually test on chrome & firefox & thats it. if not: i display a message that browser is not supported.

This has started happening with IE and earlier versions of that horrific web munger.

About 2010 we saw the rise of "your browser is incompatible" web pages that direct the user to download chrome.

Since then IE has improved, trident is generally compatible to an okay degree.

Where this fails is in business... most businesses will only advocate the use of IE but fail to readily update it. So devs have a minimum version compatibility requirement.

The way I get around this in my office is not bending to it: the users want a d3 loaded chart on ng2 with all the bells and whistles? Great, you'd better get talking to security now to get them on a supported browser.

Don't bend to their will. You'll get backlash from the 90s devs who used to write unobtrusive js that worked on the top 5... but fuck those guys, they need to learn too.

The most baffling thing is that the majority of sysadmins/infosec employees seem to have this opinion that upgrades need to be delayed as much as possible, because updates are scary.

And IE6 is the most secure browser because they have bookmarked this MS technet blog article from a decade ago where Microsoft said so. Mozilla? Sounds like something McAfee would mark as Spyware, let's not trust that.

@bittersweet haha yessss.

I'm really lucky that my sysadmins use Firefox and see IE as the POS that it is.

I'd still advocate chrome over ff for development but it beats them being on ie.

At my org we have a middleman update server. It's a common configuration to put something between Microsoft and all the computers in the company.

It's enabling though; Microsoft get to piss out breaking updates on a regular basis and the sysadmins of each company controls it rather than the source... like giving your alcoholic da a drink every month because he'll find it elsewhere if you don't.

I've been torn between chrome and FF for ages now.

Chrome is user friendlier, dev friendlier, and tends to be more performant and stable as long as you keep feeding it RAM. Firefox is a lot more "libre", and I feel they're a necessary counterweight against Google dominating the browser market.

Nice thoughts my dear siblings. i love you very much, more than these retarted browsers at least

Louis CK ftw
