The web is built on the foundation I can use any browser. You are going to break the fundamental promise just to avoid working around a bug?

- rtpg 5y agoSometimes browsers ship bugs of the "this API just does not work anymore" variety. When people want to get their work done, opening another browser while the original one is being fixed (which might take a couple weeks), for certain applications, is extremely reasonable for business people just trying to get their work done.
- enos_feedler 5y agothat sounds like a good short term fix. I guess I was thinking about bigger things like stadia.google.com only working on Chrome browsers. It all seems arbitrary
- ben-schaaf 5y ago> The web is built on the foundation I can use any browser. This foundation is provided by browsers and is also broken by browsers. If safari's foundation is broken then safari is the one not fulfilling that fundamental promise, not the websites now broken. So yes, don't use a browser if it doesn't work.
- enos_feedler 5y agoI think this is a pretty harsh judgement for a webGL bug.
- inopinatus 5y agoApple have already intentionally broken that promise by refusing to implement parts of the HTML standard.
- dmitriid 5y agoWhich parts of HTML standard did they refuse to implement?
- Devasta 5y ago"Best viewed in IE" was the norm for years and years, supporting only the major browsers has pretty much always been the case. Before Opera gave up and became another Chrome reskin, there were plenty of sites that didn't work for me until I set the user agent to match another browser.
