- Udo 12y agoI depends on the position you're in. If you're a scrappy B2B startup looking to gain traction, this is indeed not a battle you want to fight. But things look vastly different if you're Facebook or Techcrunch. Then the story suddenly becomes "there is a bug in our router that causes TC not to load, this needs to be fixed ASAP" instead of "screw this app, it doesn't seem work".

- Udo 12y agoI get that you disagree, but that's just a glib answer. I thought we were discussing the general case, not brainstorming for Algolia specifically.
- gress 12y agoTrue. I was mostly responding to the tone of the original comment. By all means encourage powerful sites to deprecate support for poor implementations as a way of encouraging progress.
