Björn delivers a very hands-on talk providing frontend engineers with concrete tips how to:
- Select which browsers to support easily through probing
- Supporting older browsers through JS/CSS overloading and fill-ins
- Highlighting the importance to support older devices so that hardware can last longer. Just having a few devices saved on mobile pages can even be as relevant as reducing energy consumption for everyone bc of the disbalance of embodied emissions to operational emissions
- Did you know you can detect if you have a modern JS browser with a simple one-liner like this: const isModernBrowser = typeof Array.fromAsync === “function”;
