      You are not stupid when you develop "web apps" -- you get al your customer's data. You are only stupid when you use them for more serious things than 2048.

      Good. Browsers should have stopped adding "features" 5 years ago. Display web pages and shut the fuck up.

    I thought the version was a penis length competition.

    At least that's what it looks like since Chrome and Firefox started changing major versions every fucking week or so.

    No, thank you. I realize most geeks really like Chrome, but I don't trust it or its master. I'll stick with browers not tied to Google in any way.

  4. Which environment instead? by tepples · · Score: 4, Insightful

    What cross-platform application environment would you recommend other than the HTML stack? Oracle Java and Adobe Flash/AIR don't have a spotless security record either. Or would you prefer to have to write 14 different native applications for 14 different platforms? You could have a web app written, tested, and deployed before you even finish applying to become an authorized developer on half of those platforms.

      For the most part the cross browser stuff is pretty straight forward these days, and if you're building a web application (not site) you can limit yourself to modern browsers without too much trouble... depending on your browser feature needs of course. IE11 is decent, 10 isn't bad, and 9 is doable. If you use react, angular or ember as a base, it's as good as most component ui systems. It's still easier than a cross platform codebase for native apps.
