Googling, I found nothing about this topic.
Then I went to the Apple StackExchange (probably not the right place) to ask about it without success (https://apple.stackexchange.com/q/387364/263000).
I'd like to see the potential technical reasons why a company would go for such design - rather than needing anyone from Apple sharing such internal details (as the guy at StackExchange replied).
Thanks!
Today, I've spent almost 3 hours trying to purchase a few items at IKEA online (the Spanish online store, ikea.es).
As a web developer, I find incredibly difficult to develop an end-to-end website online purchasing experience only compatible with IE11, which was the case.
Of course in order to figure that out, I needed a process of testing the same process again and again with the following list of browsers: - Chrome, Firefox and Safari latest versions for Mac OS X 10.14 and Windows 10. - Microsoft Edge on Windows 10.
None of the above worked. In some cases, an error was thrown so the payment form submission couldn't be correctly sent. In others, some data matching such as the shipping address wasn't simply accepted.
In the end, after complaining on Twitter and contacting them directly, I decided to give it a last try with IE11 and voilà!
To sum up: I would have found profoundly useful to have a website that lists if the full purchasing experience is compatible with my browser, the same that caniuse.com does with the Web APIs per browser.
Any ideas?
Am I requesting for a kind of an impossible-to-find asset?
I'd appreciate your thoughts on this.
