I think pjmlp is just being contrarian. First, the Microsoft browser these days is Edge, not IE. IE is dead. Second, if you want, or wanted in the past, to test on Internet Explore…

But does Apple really care about web developers? How do you test on Safari if you don’t have Apple devices? How difficult can it be for Apple to make barebones virtual machines wit…

What chrisweekly said: Configuring webpack, mostly. :-D That’s not a dig at webpack: Those tools are super complex, and hiding complexity from the user is not easy. But it seems th…

Websites do care about the UA. They don’t care, at least most don’t care, about the User-Agent string . That is different. About an element that gets rendered into native menu cont…

Some of the stuff we have been adding since then is GOOD though. Some examples: We now have to accommodate all types of user agents, and we do that very well. We now have complex n…

But how does that work? Does Cloudflare force firewall rules for those who choose to use it for their websites? If the tool that does the crawling identifies itself properly, does …

Firefox could (should?) be better in several aspects but it seems excessive to say it is pretty irrelevant. It has 4.5% market share in Europe, 9% in Germany (statcounter numbers).…
