Browser Compatibility

Lets face it, one of the biggest problems that web developers face is trying to make their product visible in the same way on each major browser out there. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Opera and Chrome are the ones most mentioned but the biggest trouble-maker is IE, short for Internet Explorer.

Yes, it’s true that about 80% of web surfers use it but that is not based on IE’s ‘magnificent’ performance. The truth is that until the recent Windows Vista, Microsoft was including IE in each operating system by default and most of the time it wasn’t removable. Clever technique that works! Except the European Union commission noticed and sued Microsoft for breaking anti-trust laws for millions of dollars.

That is why the new operating system from Microsoft, Windows 7, will not have Internet Explorer embedded anymore. Internet Explorer has been around for a long time but it’s full of CSS bugs.

It is our recommendation for those of you who have websites with regular traffic to view it with at least two different browsers for the sake of compatibility and versatility, and for the sake of knowing if your website is accessible by everybody.
