Browser Compatibility Issues

The web is built on the foundation I can use any browser. You are going to break the fundamental promise just to avoid working around a bug?

I don't think that it works with browsers. Otherwise web standards will not progress very well, since everyone tries to support the first Chrome version for their website. We create even more friction than having different browsers already has.

It's always been a web developer's job to workaround browser incompatibility issues. Expecting them all to be 100% compliant with specs is a mirage.

hard to believe that in this day and age, browsers aren't standardized to the extent say cars or televisions are...then we would not have these problems.

Not every developer has time to deal with Firefox and other fringe browsers' differences

You can't blame projects for not immediately supporting your specific browser. Most teams develop for the standards. If your browser doesn't conform to the standards that work for major browsers, then it's just harder on the developers.

Because the days of browsers having bugs that need workarounds are over?

I just wish browsers would follow standards instead of having half dozen frail workarounds that have to be reworked at each drop of new browser versions

Browsers have bugs so it's not really possible to do that and maintain a reliable web.

Sorry but its the developers job to code correctly, so that the site will work properly in the standards compliant browsers (Chrome, Safari, FF and Opera).Coding wrong and passing the problem to the browser is just meanBTW, different rendering engines, assure no monopoly, innovation and competence, which is always good.
