i have been in web development sind 1998, and the worst time was 2004 to 2006. whereby 2002 and even 2003 IE 6 was seen as fresh air in the internet (oh, the things you could do), in 2004 the cracks and horrible limitations began to show, and no new version, no better browser, no better internet in sight (mozilla firebird still sucked at that time), 2006 was my personal year of browser depression, and i decided i don't want to code for a living anymore (quit my job, started my first business).
browser share wise, yes, 2012 really is/was the greatest year ever.
- rimantas 14y agoI agree with the first half, but regarding Mozilla… IIRC I switched to version 0.6 (then called Phoenix, iirc) as my default browser in 2003, and I don't remember it sucking. I remember still coding for IE5 compatibility in 2006, but it was not a problem. For me IE7 was more annoying, strangely enough.
