My manager insists on using Edge because "it is the default browser on Windows so everybody uses it".
I'm working on an in-house Angular application, and he has discovered a lot of compatibility issues that none of our other users have.
- laumars 8y ago...or possibly other users have discovered but not bothered to report it? Your manager is doing the right thing here - even if you don't agree with his rational. If you don't control the browsers your customers* use then you should be testing your application on as many unique platforms as you can. That is essentially UAT 101. * "customers" might be external to the company, or your own staff if you're developing an intranet application.
- wernsey 8y agoTo clarify, he's the only one that uses Edge in our company of about 20 people. I do appreciate him finding the compatibility issues, but I also find it _cute_ when he discovered issues that no one else ever encountered because of Edge. What I'm really trying to say is that I've seen a fair number edge cases where Edge is not behaving the same as Chrome or Firefox ;)
