It’s always a pain for web application developers to learn the browser usage of end users. Whenever creating a web application, developers need to consider the browser compatibilities, and consequently need to find out the browsers that are being used by their customers.

Complicated? It’s just complicated and time consuming to learn all these basic information from the customers. It would be ideal if there is a solution that lets us focus on the main functions regardless of the browser types. 

Make your Web Scanning App Support Different Browsers
