Interesting perspective; one could argue that the creators of non-web-standards-compliant browsers are really to blame here, forcing webdevs to branch / gate so often on the UA header. Agreed that it is really becoming dead, though.
- gbear605 7y agoThe whole point of the article is that a number of sites (Google, Facebook, Netflix) are returning invalid sites because the browser is Vivaldi, not to make the site work with Vivaldi, but to make Vivaldi not work. It’s entirely the developer’s fault, not the browser’s.
- bowmessage 7y agoSure, but developers were forced down this path due to IE6 et. al. not respecting an open-standards-compliant grammar for HTML, JS, etc.
