"If you’re just getting started, choose Chrome."
Why, exactly?
- llampx 7y agoThe same kind of thinking that led to IE6-only websites.
- chessturk 7y agoMy boss says that's the world we're about to repeat.
- ryanmarsh 7y agoThat’s not a fair comparison by any stretch. IE6 had a number of serious bugs and idiosyncratic behaviors that went unpatched until its demise. Chrome has continuous releases and often implements new web standards before other vendors. Chrome has a solid track record, IE was ALWAYS a shit show. I don’t know how anyone who was a web developer back when the majority were using IE6 could say Chrome’s current dominance is anything like what we experienced supporting IE6 well into the 21st century.
- delaaxe 7y agoAll of the recommended options seem based on market share / popularity.
- alasdair_ 7y agoExcept Hyper for terminal emulation. The built-in terminal is likely far kore popular.
- swiley 7y agoLast time I checked (I'm running firefox ESR right now so maybe it's gotten better recently) Chrome's dev tools were way better than the ones from mozilla.
- ktross 7y agoChrome has better devtools. Personally I use Firefox on my MacBook for slightly better battery life and the tools are good enough for the most part. AFAIK in terms of batter life it goes Safari > Firefox > Chrome. I feel like all of this and more should have been mentioned in the article. It's surprising that Safari wasn't even mentioned when it has clear benefits in some cases (coming from someone who hates Safari).
- thatguyagain 7y agoInteresting. How is chrome devtools better? They seem to offer the exact same things imo.
