"I will educate my friends and family that WEB BROWSER CHOICE MATTERS"
and
"Most importantly and above all, I will put the needs of the USER FIRST over my own needs as a developer."
So please do, put the needs of your USERS first. Your users do not NEED to be educated by you. It is not your business what browser they use.
- ajanuary 14y agoFriends and family != users. You can cater to the variety of platforms your users want to use whilst at the same time having useful and meaningful conversations with friends and family about what the best browser is for them. You don't annoy your users by trying to 'educate' them, but collectively we see a move forward.
- lucasf 14y agoThe two are not mutually exclusive as you seem to imply. > Your users do not NEED to be educated by you. I think educating clients and users is actually crucial. For a lot of users browser was conscious choice, but there is big group that don't even know that there are different/newer browsers. First group can ignore advice but second group might benefit a lot. >It is not your business what browser they use. It absolutely is. Silly car metaphor: I'm taking my car to a service station. I expect mechanic to tell me that oil I'm using is not the optimal one. Whether or not I take his advice is my business. But informing me about substandard oil is very much his business. Also - If all of my users used modern browsers, I could save money by not spending time on ensuring my site performs well on old buggy browsers.
