Browser Compatilibility Flashcards
What is the most used browser currently?
Chrome (and Chromium) is the dominant player in the market.
What was the original name of the first web browser?
The history of modern browsing began back in December of 1990 with the release of WorldWideWeb browser. It was written by Tim Berners-Lee while working for the European nuclear research agency known as CERN. It was later renamed to Nexus, to avoid confusion with the World Wide Web.
How are mobile browsers different on Apple mobile operating systems from Android?
On iOS and iPadOS, Safari is technically the only supported browser. Yes, you can install Chrome or Firefox, and you can even set them as a default, but they are not full browsers. They are still using the Safari rendering engine (WebKit). Therefore, for your web application to work for Apple users, you have to ensure support for WebKit and other technologies used in Safari.
