Desktop browser test arrays

Desktop browser test arrays

Here are the desktop browser test arrays I currently use.

1.0

Original array, created in early September 2013.

Method or property	Internet Explorer							Firefox			Safari	Opera					Chrome
Method or property	5.5	6	7	8	9	10	11	23 Win	23 Mac	23 Linux	6	12 Win	12 Mac	12 Linux	16 Win	16 Mac	29 Win	29 Mac	29 Linux
Example	Desktop browser test array 1.0; September 2013 IE5.5 and 6 I do not test on IE5.5 and 6 any more, so they’re not tested for newer methods and properties that they don’t support anyway. However, I copy all information from older versions of the Tables. IE7 Trident On Windows Vista virtualization IE 8, 9, and 11 Trident On separate Windows 7 virtualizations IE10 Trident On Windows RT (Windows 8) Firefox Gecko 23 on Linux; 23.0.1 on Windows 7 and Mac Safari WebKit 6.0.5 on Mac Opera 12 Presto 12.16 Win7, Mac, and Linux Opera 16 Blink 16.0 Win7 and Mac Chrome Blink 29 Win7, Mac, and Linux Operating systems Mac MacBook Pro 17'' with OS 10.7.5 This is my main test station. It also runs all virtual Windows systems. Windows Vista and 7 All downloaded from modern.ie. I use VirtualBox, and downloded the Windows 7 systems for all browsers but IE7, which runs on Vista. The non-IE Windows browsers all run on the IE9/Win7 virtualization. Windows RT Microsoft Surface with Windows RT Linux Ubuntu 12.04 on pretty old hardware. Not fair for performance comparisons.

1.0.1

Firefox and Chrome updated (except Chrome Linux, which did not update).

2.0

Stopped testing in IE7, although a single column 'IE7 and lower' will continue to exist for older data.
Firefox updated to 32
Safari updated to 7
Chrome updated to 37
Opera updated to 24. Dropped the old Presto-based Opera 12.

Method or property	Internet Explorer					Firefox			Safari	Chrome			Opera		Yandex
Method or property	7 and lower	8	9	10	11	32 Win	32 Mac	32 Linux	7	37 Win	37 Mac	37 Linux	24 Win	24 Mac	14 Win	14 Mac
Example	Desktop browser test array 2.0; September 2014 IE7 and lower I removed them, so they’re not tested for newer methods and properties that they don’t support anyway. However, I copy all information from older versions of the Tables. If IE8 supports a method or property I never tested before I have to guess if IE7 and lower also support it. In general I assume they support the Microsoft-invented properties, but for others I will occasionally have to add a "Don’t know" entry. If IE8 does not support something I never tested before, I assume IE7 and lower also don’t support it.
