What are some good alternatives for developers who don't want to lose 2,39% (or whatever the current MSIE11 market share is) of their visitors/revenue?
Bulma claims 90% compatibility with IE11 at least. Foundation 6 seems to support IE9+.
- StreamBright 7y agoMarket share != revenue share.
- jfkebwjsbx 7y agoExactly. In fact, for some domains, supporting IE11 can mean losing money. There is the technical cost, but also the support cost which tends to be higher.
- reaperducer 7y agoMarket share != revenue share. This can certainly be true. The amount of revenue my company generates from IE11 users is at least an order of magnitude more than its Chrome, Firefox, and Safari users combined.
- purerandomness 7y agoJust continue using the 4.x branch, it's perfectly fine and I think it's still going to receive maintenance for some time.
- tln 7y agoThose ie11 users may be able to just fire up chrome etc when they need to. That is my recent experience at least We build an IE compatible marketing and sign up flow, so I may only be seeing the motivated users' behavior
- Wowfunhappy 7y ago> Those ie11 users may be able to just fire up chrome etc when they need to. They may. They may also just hit the back button. One of those actions requires much less inertia than the other.
- tln 7y agoAbsolutely! that's why I build IE11-compatible marketing pages and signup... once they are past the first step of the funnel, the back button isn't as tempting :) Right now its the same front end stack (Vue, BS4) for both sites, and re-build and re-test for IE11 infrequently, so we're not paying the cost constantly.
- Solvitieg 7y agoYour company is unable to upgrade their IE11-only software yet that same company is going to upgrade from Bootstrap 4 to 5 immediately? Stay on Bootstrap 4. It will be supported until late 2021.
