*For reading*, we aim to support any browser with 0.1%[1] use or more. This has both culled things out, like IE 5.5, and surfaced things like NetFront (Sony Playstation Browser).
*For security*, if it's possible to protect the site or our users, and we have money in the bank, we should be doing what it takes to protect them. *For everything else*, we support various browsers based on a variety of factors: * Whether the browser can ever support the feature at all * Level of difficulty getting the feature to work in the browser * Level of resources dedicated to the project We normally knock out the most commonly-used and easy-to-get-working browsers first, and then sort out details on other browsers in order of use. There's no base percentage here, just hopes and dreams. - Trevor [1] http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/squids/SquidReportClients.htm On Apr 14, 2011, at 2:10 AM, Siebrand Mazeland wrote: > On 14-04-11 10:02 Daniel Kinzler <[email protected]> wrote: > > >> Wow, seriously?
