Something like 40 percent of people use the default browser installed by the os.
We're just in an echo chamber of people who know what JavaScript is, and that distorts our perception of the world.
- nicce 5y agoCan you give source for that number? Regardless, browser is like any other app. If that amount of people don’t know how to install apps on their computers, then we have a either real dump people (or just lack of motivation) or great UX design failure in general.
- BiteCode_dev 5y agoUsers are on average incompetent, not dumb. It's a dauntins realisation that sinks in once you have to do support for a web site or app catering to the general population instead of a niche. They don't read, don't know the diff between an app and a web site, don't know right click or drag and drop, think google or chrome is the internet and overall their startegy to solve any problem is as follow: - look for something obvious that seems like the answer but is not scary - click - wait for it - repeat 3 times until ok or give up and call someone or get angry or both Working on a streaming video site really opened my eyes on this one. Most tickets we received were insults, some were incomprehensible garbage, a few were actionable request from someone not understanding anything about their computer. This is nothing like your github ticket. Your parent number are being generous IMO.
