And 'the hour - for Web developers - to take drastic measures against the obstinate craze of the incompatibility between browsers. We propose, therefore, a sympathetic boycott of Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 that, after years of development, blogs, white papers and referendum, continues to exhibit pronounced symptoms of chronic incompatibility. Sorry in the end always criticize the work of "colleagues" in Redmond, but the defects found in the latest release of Internet Explorer are so macroscopic that can not be perceived as mere oversights.
The most worrying thing is the presence of high-profile bugs already present in IE version 6! You can not, therefore, to accept such behavior by those who have a monopoly of the undisputed most popular Internet browser. Unfortunately, in fact, Internet Explorer 6 is still the most used browser, FireFox although in recent years has proudly path on his way to success all deserved.
Just then, with Patch HTML, CSS and JavaScript (or JScript?)!
All the same browser?
Some argue that a perfect compatibility between browsers will never be reached. In fact, what is the real difference between Internet Explorer and FireFox? To date, the functions of feeds, Zoom, tabs, etc. ... are present on almost all browsers on the market, from Safari to Opera. So which one to choose? Maybe you should not choose! It 'just that what is lacking. Today, we are all forced to choose, either as a Web Developer that as an end-user. The experience, in fact, teaches us that the site is navigable with Safari, but the other only works with FireFox. In practice, on your machine, you should have at least 3 / 4 browsers to make sure you surf the Internet with confidence nell'immmensità!
That seems really absurd!
And the best part is that this is already done!
If you add a site to your favorites you have to remember to export it in the other four browsers, or if you are ever to sail tomorrow with a different browser than you do not find the link that you were - rightly - is stored. If a certificate store of your bank? The lists of feeds? In short, this is a game in the massacre, not computer!
We should first of all settle once and for all the question of visual browsers (CSS / HTML / XML, ...) and the compatibility scripting (JavaScript / JScript). Without this, then, amaze the world with a browser capable of having its own characteristics and not a copy of those of another!
Each of us is free - or should be free - to install the browser on your PC you deem appropriate. The issue is that this freedom is denied by the incompatibility of the browser and the Web Developer work becomes tiring, expensive (in terms of time and money) and not very efficient, with risks still hidden bugs and other flaws!
