> My application run in browsers, but I don't provide any test automation for the browser environment. I just manually test there occasionally. The effort is too high and the environment is so simple that I can get what I need from brief manual testing.

I do the same.

But I must admit, nearly every time I manually test on a different browser, some behaviour or other is different in some broken way, and I spend a while updating the code to handle yet another browser difference.

Perhaps I'm pushing the edge a bit with the sort of things I write, but still. It's astonishing how much variation there is.



I am pretty old school with my approaches to writing for the browsers so I don’t really see these differences in either my JS or CSS. I love template strings, and if weren’t for my heavy use of those my code would work just fine in IE9 and possibly IE8.
