Comment A new browser is born = more sleepless nights! (Score 1) 807
When more browsers start to appear, it is only inevitable that web developers (like myself) face greater nightmares. It takes X hours to design and develop a nice website, but it'll another 2X hours to get it to work and display uniformly across 29 browsers.
Trust me, I can't help but to hold my breath each time a new browser is born, typing my very own url into the address bar and hitting ENTER. Pray that everything looks (and works) fine.
Forgive the standards compliance issues amongst the different browsers today, it's ok for us to develop and test vigorously on 3 or 4 major browsers+versions, but imagine the entire browser market divided into 10 browsers of almost equal share. This only means more sleepless nights for us designers. What do you think?
