Ask HN: Browser specific CSS Or X-browser compliant design?
Do you guys write
- browser specific CSS?
Or
- make your design cross-browser compliant?
Today, I am quite please to note that FF adoption has reached equal percentage as of IE6+7+8. See the link below. Can we safely ignore retrofitting the app to IE6? I am just trying to weigh the ROI of effort.

- mooism2 18y agoAs they note below the tables, their statistics are skewed compared to most sites. Most sites will see most users using Internet Explorer, with Firefox a distant second. And even on their figures, more than 1 in 6 visitors use IE6. That's a lot of people to drop support for.
- CalmQuiet 18y agoYou might also want to consider whether today's "browser specific" will be tomorrow's browser-specific. For example: there was no Google Chrome a year ago. Nor Safari for Windows. But be ready to add style sheets for mobile devices. ...or whatever evolves next.
