Why do some websites only work on certain browsers? Sometimes it’s only safari or sometimes anything but safari
In: Technology
A web browser is a program on your computer that reads instructions, and uses them to draw things onto your screen. You can send a web browser any instructions you like, but it can only correctly draw using the instructions it knows. If a browser hasn’t been programmed to know what to do when it reads a certain instruction, that functionality is unsupported in that browser.
Web browsers are competing products, so each company is trying to add more features to their own browser. Sometimes they even create new instructions that only work in their browser, and no one else’s. This is what Apple has done occasionally with Safari.
