Why would you care about IE8 - 9 or whatever other browser you might be thinking about that has probably an infinitesimal market share?

Why would you care about IE8 - 9 or whatever other browser you might be thinking about that has probably an infinitesimal market share?
- Whitestrake 10y agoMarket share might be a ridiculously small percentage overall, but it's never appropriate to dismiss compatibility outright. Reasons to include inefficient code for compatibility reasons might include applications where maximum reach is valuable, or where the scale is so large that the "infinitesimal market share" percentage plays out into thousands of end users.
- bildung 10y agoBecause market share is only meaningful if you target consumers. If you write (internal or niche) web applications for e.g. schools, large companies, non-profits etc. legacy browsers can easily be > 30% of your targets.
