Re: BugZone: Nothing's perfect...
I Googled the Chrome vs Firefox thing after posting and it seems that Chrome still has a very marginal lead, but Firefox is accelerating so quickly that it's likely to have taken the lead since the numbers have been crunched. The primary driver is that Mozilla did a complete rewrite on Firefox, partially to exploit multiple cores better.timmydownawell wrote: ↑Sat Jul 14, 2018 4:26 pmI've used Firefox all along, I was actually amazed to see how much Chrome was dominating the market. I thought 'I may as well be a Netscape user'.StroppyChops wrote: ↑Sat Jul 14, 2018 3:33 pmThis is genuinely not fanboi-ism as I'm a Chrome man myself, but with the latest releases of each, Firefox is now considered the more stable and mature browser, and many Chrome die-hards are reverting.

Oddly, if you use the online Work Permit portal, it will not function to completion on Firefox, but will on Chrome, although there will be no dialog boxes or other information to tell you what's going wrong. Learned this the hard way. The final three documents won't upload in Firefox, but may appear to. Obviously a lack of cross-browser functionality testing there.

Re: BugZone: Nothing's perfect...
Yeah, that's the issue. Most things are mainly checked against Chrome or Safari, so Firefox gets overlooked or looked into later. And not to mention poor Netscape Navigator....StroppyChops wrote: ↑Sat Jul 14, 2018 4:30 pm

Re: BugZone: Nothing's perfect...
Wow, you're right. And I'm so very wrong - I went and checked a few other sources, as well, and they say the same as your link. I must have been reading fake news.timmydownawell wrote: ↑Sat Jul 14, 2018 5:15 pm? Check here: https://netmarketshare.com/browser-mark ... 1000%22%7D.StroppyChops wrote: ↑Sat Jul 14, 2018 4:30 pm

Re: BugZone: Nothing's perfect...
Yeah it's a pretty sad state of affairs when the second most popular browser is IE and it's only on 12% and you're third on 11. Although they don't include Edge's 4% in the IE figure. Still a ridiculous domination by Chrome. Android phones would be the #1 reason though.StroppyChops wrote: ↑Sat Jul 14, 2018 5:38 pmWow, you're right.

Agreed - although I looked at the Desktop (only) stats on your link, and they're about the same.timmydownawell wrote: ↑Sat Jul 14, 2018 5:45 pmYeah it's a pretty sad state of affairs when the second most popular browser is IE and it's only on 12% and you're third on 11.

Well spotted. That's also surprising. Google really are masters of market domination aren't they.StroppyChops wrote: ↑Sat Jul 14, 2018 5:47 pmAgreed - although I looked at the Desktop (only) stats on your link, and they're about the same.timmydownawell wrote: ↑Sat Jul 14, 2018 5:45 pmYeah it's a pretty sad state of affairs when the second most popular browser is IE and it's only on 12% and you're third on 11.

Wow, I would have assumed Safari is ranked MUCH higher.

Re: BugZone: Nothing's perfect...
Same old tired debate. A lot of the corporate stuff is written and only checked to run on Chrome because of lazy programmers. So forced to use chrome. Same as the rest of the corporate PC world writing programs in Windows XP because of laziness and the creating a wrapper so it can run on all the machines.StroppyChops wrote:Oh shush now, the adults are talking!General Mackevili wrote: ↑Sat Jul 14, 2018 6:06 pm Wow, I would have assumed Safari is ranked MUCH higher.
