Re: Google has added “unsupported browser” warnings for Edge Chromium on Google Docs
#22This came up a few days ago and it turns out Microsoft changed Edge's user agent in the latest update which triggered the message in Google's apps. This is likely a non-issue and will be corrected soon. Keep in mind that Edge is in beta so mistakes will happen.
Still, why is Google of all companies sniffing User Agents instead of using feature detection, like they preach?
Re: Google has added “unsupported browser” warnings for Edge Chromium on Google Docs
#23Why are people assuming that they don't use feature detection just because they have a warning based on UA-sniffing?
Saying that an unknown browser is "unsupported browser" is not the same as saying that "it will break. we will deliberately disable the feature". All it means is "We don't know what this browser is. We have never tested on it. we will not pay as much attention is this unknown browser break".
Just because a browser passes features detection doesn't mean they don't have bugs or weird behaviors.
Why do people assume that Google doesn't both, using feature detection to enable features and also display warning if the user is user some browser they don't know and can't guarantee that they ever test on it.
