>>Designed for Chrome or Safari.
I am pretty adamant that these days you gotta design for Edge as well.
- knocte 9y agoAnd Firefox! And Opera! And Brave!
- sAbakumoff 9y agoThis is not funny.
- oneeyedpigeon 9y agoFirefox has about 4 times the market share that Edge does. If your argument is solely about market share, the Firefox version should be supported first and categorising this person's comment as a 'joke' is unfair.

- sAbakumoff 9y agoThis person also mentioned Opera which makes the whole comment a bad joke!
- afraca 9y agoI'm no frontend developer, so I'm unsure what technology actually is used by ReactVR, but according to [0] only Edge and Firefox support th e WebVR API, that was funny to find out. It worked on Firefox. [0] https://caniuse.com/#feat=webvr https://caniuse.com/#feat=webvr
- sAbakumoff 9y agoLOL, this is what I am talking about!
- wuliwong 9y agoI actually found this super confusing. I opened up the app on chrome on os-x and I could move the view around, nothing seemed broken. I don't have a VR headset attached to my mac so maybe that's where the problems arise? It seems most of these browsers support webvr with their proprietary hardware, whether it be google daydream/cardboard or edge only supporting windows mixed reality headsets. It will be interesting to see where this goes moving forward.
- oneeyedpigeon 9y agoSurely not for experimental demonstrations of new tech such as this. Maybe if the creator wanted to monetise or present to the widest audience, sure, but this is aimed at a sector that is 99% going to have access to Chrome or Safari.
- sAbakumoff 9y agowhere did you get this insane number? There are plenty of people who use and like windows 10 and its wonderful browser which has nothing to do with IE!
- oneeyedpigeon 9y agoHardcore web developers that don't have access to either Chrome or Safari? 99% was obviously a pulled-out-of-thin-air figure, but it's surely the vast, vast majority.
- sAbakumoff 9y agowhat it has to do with web-developers? The thing the guy cobbled together is for crypto coin and VR which is now available to everyone.
- wuliwong 9y agoThe developer is showing off an experiment he made using a bleeding edge web development framework. It has loads to do with web developers.
- muxator 9y agoNever wanted a Mac. Google is too much invasive of my privacy. I simply like Firefox. Does this make me less technologically literate?
- oneeyedpigeon 9y agoNo, it makes you less prepared for cross-browser development/testing, but that might totally be a non-issue depending on your line of work. Do you not even trust Google enough to run Chrome in incognito mode once in a blue moon?
- megaman22 9y agoLol, why? Nobody uses Edge unless that's the only thing allowed.
- fermuch 9y agoA lot of people use it because it's what comes installed.
- sAbakumoff 9y agoI think, you probably confuse Edge with IE. The latter is what you said, the former is the modern beautiful and powerful browser
- blinger 9y agomore people use IE than Edge
- sAbakumoff 9y agothe source?
- TheDong 9y agoArguably the best browser-stats group is http://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share http://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share According to that, for the last month Edge is 2.06% and IE is 3.88%. Edge has never had more users than IE according to their numbers. Edge has lower market share than any other browser apart from the defunct "Android" one (which was replaced by something claiming to be chrome years ago iirc, so of all the actively maintained browsers recognized by that survey, Edge has by far the fewest users). If you have information to the contrary, please post it
- baud147258 9y agoI am reading this page on edge. I have also chrome on this computer and I have admin right so I could install Firefox too.
- pjc50 9y agoBut Edge is terrible. Edit: ugly font rendering (common to a lot of Metro desktop apps?), failure to save tabs state on exit (dealbreaker)
- sAbakumoff 9y agoIE is terrible, Edge is amazing!
- wafflesraccoon 9y agoGenuine question, why use Edge over Chrome/Firefox?
- sAbakumoff 9y agoGoogle's own performance benchmark shows that Microsoft Edge is faster than Chrome and Firefox.[0] [0] https://mybrowser.microsoft.com/en-US/features/performance https://mybrowser.microsoft.com/en-US/features/performance
- sAbakumoff 9y agoNot only is Microsoft Edge faster, it's better for your battery life!
