it is at minimum a bit confusing since every system with edge also has a separate application named internet explorer

And they have the same icon. And they are both lovely and broken browsers.

different kinds of brokenness are not interchangeable though, and in my book edge has the newer cooler set of weird behaviors~

As a web dev, I don't test my poo poo for either browser. Use Chrome.

getting web pages to work properly in both edge and internet explorer is some bullshit

Chrome is the gold standard web browser implementation and lol if you use anything else.

that’s a terrible way to approach sites as a web dev. these days there’s really no excuse for a site that only works in a single browser

If it works in the reference web browser (chrome) and not in your lovely web browser, then your web browser is broken and it's your responsibility to fix it.

*churns out a bunch of pages with lovely css and JavaScript* hey it works in chrome!

I can't help that your code is horrible, but if it works in Chrome then the behavior is correct.

so the way that chrome makes flexbox so full of gotchas that it's loving useless is the correct implementation?

idk what you are talking about. chrome flexbox works just fine.

chrome is going to be the new ie6, isn't it?

even so though, really? 10 minutes to test your page in another browser to make sure you arent churning out garbage is too much to ask? 🙄

my time is expensive. it's much cheaper for you to download and use a better web browser.

To be honest. I'm glad our company now only supports the latest version of IE and Edge. I don't know what the timeline to get off of IE completely is since it's the only thing available with the LTSB versions of Windows.

it is pretty hilarious how web devs circled around and eventually landed on the worst loving tech: javascript

it's hilarious how yosposters seem to think javascript today is the same language from 1997
