Differences between IE and Chrome:
- IE has fixed versions, IE 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11; Chrome autoupdates so there's only Chrome stable, Chrome beta, Chrome dev and Chrome canary.
No need to hardcode IE6-specific hacks.
- IE is closed source; Chrome is more open source.
- jimktrains2 12y ago> Chrome autoupdates so there's only Chrome stable, Chrome beta, Chrome dev and Chrome canary. I still see old versions of Chrome in my access logs fairly regularly. Don't kid yourself that everyone updates all the time. > - IE is closed source; Chrome is more open source. Chrome is not F/OSS, Chromium is.
- bzbarsky 12y agoChrome autoupdates on desktop. On mobile, there are all sorts of old Chrome versions being shipped by various Android vendors and not getting updated at all.
- cozuya 12y agoIE autoupdates since IE10, which is frankly a huge event for our industry that very rarely gets recognized.
- Already__Taken 12y agoThey still lock feature versions in with windows releases so they don't get many brownie points for being able to auto update security patches.
- grumblestumble 12y agoExcept for the fact that it still moves at a glacial pace compared to the competition. Incremental IE10 updates do not include new CSS or Javascript functionality, that's limited to version releases - which is measured in years. Compare that to Chrome or Firefox, where new functionality lands every couple of weeks in stable.
- cozuya 12y agoIE10, if left alone, will auto update to IE11 silently.
