Quote:Old Android phones won't run my (quite complex) site properly unless users download Chrome separately, but new ones easily do.How? In my experience, Android Stock Browser behaves mostly like Internet Explorer 11. It even appears to copy some Internet Explorer 11-specific behaviors (incorrect handling of HTML5 elements different from Internet Explorer 6-like handling, the default styles of the SVG elements, refusing to apply some CSS styles to SVG elements other browsers allow you to...). If your site works in Internet Explorer 11, it's hard to see why it wouldn't work in the Android Stock Browser.
Quote:Second, you are basing your decisions on dreamland ideas about how things SHOULD be.It's not quite living in a dreamland to state an obvious fact that iPhones, the most popular and one of the most expensive mobile phones today, are not worth their cost. They are inferior to the less expensive mobile phones both in software and in hardware. I know from personal experience (since I've had 2 iPhones) that the docks of their motherboards short out after only months of use, and that the repair is so expensive you can buy a new mobile phone for that money. And, I am not sure about other software, but I see that their browser is bad. Not as much as Opera Mini, but still bad. What works in other mobile browsers immediately doesn't work in Safari on iPhone even after hours of tweaking. It is, much like Internet Explorer 6, full of behaviors that are specific to it, yet you can't explore those behaviors properly because it has no developer tools. And Apple also doesn't quite let you install a better browser, because every browser on iPhones needs to use AppleWebKit for HTML and CSS and JavaScriptCore for JavaScript.
Quote:I would also say that the economic realities of Croatia, Bosnia, and/or Herzegovina aren't really a good measure of how/why tech advances, nor of the consumer culture that propels those advances.You realize most of the people live in countries even poorer than Bosnia and Herzegovina, right?
