  I'll support latest version minus one of major browsers. That's all I'll support - if any user has a problem because they are on an old version, they should use some other website instead of mine. Lack of JavaScript or latest web browser is a user problem.

        Only supporting the very latest browsers is basically a "works on my machine" attitude. That's lazy. It means not supporting 11% of iPhone users and 18% of iPad users [0]. That's aggressive. Adoption of evergreen browsers is also slower than that. Chrome 124 was released this week and even though 123 has been out for a month, the majority of desktop users are still on 122.

      also, even the fastest updating browsers, Firefox and Chrome, take several months to move most users to a new version. There's a spread across a few versions tapering at about 3 or 4 back but current minus 1 is gonna cut off double digit percentages of users. Minus 2 or 3 would be reasonable for someone being aggressive and lazy, but 1 is kind of obscene (or bullshit.)
