Comment on Show HN: A completely different way to write responsive, vanilla, CSSparent

Comments

The upsell on browser support is a little misleading. Sure, it’s 94% worldwide supported..but what isn’t mentioned is that the 6% is entirely IE11 and down and that the browser support numbers are inaccurate as they don’t include places like China or sorts where IE spin-offs are extremely common.

A much better way to say it is “supports almost all browsers except IE” it’s accurate (as this does support almost all browsers in the world) while details what may be a major hangup for a business user.

IE11 and down is 1.73%, not all 6%. The rest is mostly old versions of popular browsers but tiny browsers like the Chinese QQ Browser are also included at the link provided.

Anyway, I can add a note to call out that it specifically doesn't include IE for people who might not follow the resource linked at the end of the sentence you're talking about where IE11 is the first browser in the list.

Also depends on the industry sector you target. We target the third sector (charities, government, education, science, arts etc.) in the UK and regularly see ~10% IE11 use.
