You can’t count chrome and edge as two different browsers…

    They keep them grouped together though. If you look closely, they're in the same bubble while firefox is in another one. Probably shows both for the convenience of most devs.

    (also Microsoft being Microsoft might shoehorn in some feature no other normal browser would just because)

    ...Did you add an unescaped RTL toggle character on your user name?

    For the record, I noticed because I use Friendica:

    Header of the post in Friendica, which thanks to the RTL toggle character, reads literally: "XylightromuH remmargorP aív"

    Jeroba only flips the instance domain, that is way more wild

    No issues in Thunder.

    I have display names turned off, though.

    I strongly think Lemmy clients should have a toggle to show usernames instead of display names. Some of the Unicode is super obnoxious.

    There ought to be some kind of 2016 css subset that everyone sticks to and then we can reconsider maybe updating it to include any newer stuff that's absolutely essential once every ten years.

    that mentality is one reason websites spam JavaScript today, because native features of the markup language were being added too slow

    Expecting the runtime/browser to ship a native implementation of virtually everything you might want to do in a turing-complete language, is also really not sustainable, though.

    Gradual adoption is fine. It's so much better than seeing StackOverflow answers from like 2013, and knowing not a goddamn one of them works anymore. It's massively better than having to write separate code for IE and Netscape.

    I don't believe, you should expect all browsers to implement all new web features in under a year. It takes time, like new C++ or C standarts. An like with all other standarts, the more parties are involved the more time it takes to adopt it.

    You know what still works? HTML tables.

    Suck it, all of the 2000s webdev.

    Even apple phones added flexbox support in like 2022.
    Flexbox spam is the new tables.

    Right? What year is your org up to?

    Feel free to answer in terms of OS or framework version.

    Haha, one year? How quaint. (Cries into ISO C++ standards)

    Just don't create such a mess that you need cutting-edge features.

    Cutting-edge JS is for boring stuff anyway. We've gone from formalizing the best bits of jQuery to 'click thing to make box appear.' So you're only avoiding tutorial-ass boilerplate, and quite frankly, boo hoo.

    Meanwhile CSS is still in the "Jesus Christ why wasn't it like this to begin with" phase of feature adoption.

    Progressive enhancement is a cool thing

    That's like wanting to use a just standardized media format.

    We used to have HTML+ and be happy!

    Pretty much anything you might ever wanna do with a website, can be done with IE8 support. Rest is skill issue.
