- kevin_thibedeau 6y agoShades of IE6 Stockholm syndrome.
- derefr 6y agoVery different problems. Many ISVs were stuck supporting IE6 for so long—long after it went into single-digit percentage usage—not out of some vague fear that someone, somewhere still used it; but because the particular moribund enterprise clients that they wanted to sell into still used it. (Otherwise, IE6 would have been just another irrelevant minority browser, like Opera.) Mobile Safari, meanwhile, is "still" used by 25% of people; but more importantly, iOS is used by 26% of people (52% in North America!), and those people can't actually get any other renderer than WKWebView, whether they use Safari or not.
- donatj 6y agoThe IE6 problem is the same reason I'm currently stuck supporting IE11. The vague fear that we don't want to cut off like 3% of our users.
- oauea 6y agoIt's impossible to test for without buying expensive hardware, so I'll pass.
- erichocean 6y agoA used iPod Touch is $35, the same price as a Raspberry Pi. Is a Raspberry Pi "expensive hardware"?
- oauea 6y agoRight, I'll put "Designed for used iPod Touch" in the footer then.
