Designers only looking at their sites on their MacBook Pros is exactly what produces these pretty but unreadable websites.

  Adding a "Yes, but..." Microsoft's refusal, or inability, to release a version of Edge (or even a port of an earlier IE) for macOS exacerbates this situation. I virtualize Windows on my MacBook for IE/Edge testing of my designs and code, but it requires a workflow and context shifting that I'd perfer I didn't have to do. Edit: s/I.E./IE

    With Parallels that's at least a bit less painful, but yeah, we shouldn't need to virtualize at all.

    Ironically we have the exact same problem, except worse with Safari, since it has (relatively) poor support for some cutting edge APIs, and unlike Edge/IE we can't even legally test it in a VM because Apple doesn't even allow their OS to be put in a virtual machine. At least Microsoft has the good grace to put up free VMs for browser testing - https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/ https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/v...

    At least you don't have to buy a whole different computer to do your job. I have to buy a Mac just to test websites and compile apps for iOS. The only way for me to avoid using the Macintosh OS or having to buy a Mac is to switch careers or specialize. Thankfully, cross-platform kits such as Cordova and React-Native let me use my preferred OS for development most of the time!
