At the risk of engaging someone who clearly has an axe to grind, the barrier to upgrading a browser is hardly comparable to upgrading an operating system.

At the risk of engaging someone who clearly has an axe to grind, the barrier to upgrading a browser is hardly comparable to upgrading an operating system.
- meaty 14y agoI agree with that point, but I think that the people who use the latest and greatest browser tend to upgrade their computers and operating systems regularly. The rest don't know or care. As technology experts on here, we tend to forget that the layperson doesn't generally know or care.
- gmac 14y agoFor a decent-sized constituency, the barrier is exactly the same: they haven't got admin rights, and the IT department installed/mandates the version they have. And for another too: the large proportion of people who have no idea what either an OS or a browser is. It's a mistake to imagine that everyone (and perhaps even a majority) either understands or has control of their computing.
