From:

Firefox and Opera. Is writing code that only works on one browser another one of those little jokes that I don't get?

OK, so I loaded up Chrome - which I almost never use - and read the thing. I got the references in the first and last questions, of course; are the others in response to real incidents? (In particular I know nothing about the Eurovision song contest except that ABBA and Riverdance came from there.)

Not so much a joke as browsers being complex, and developers being somewhat lazy.

The middle one is presumably Dana International, who was a trans Israeli singer. And presumably got a lot of racism thrown her way.

The mural one is this incident: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/mar/23/corbyn-criticised-after-backing-artist-behind-antisemitic-mural

I have no trouble writing HTML code that works on every web browser that ever lived. Anyone who can't is just showing off their reach exceeding their grasp.

Thanks for the references.

Very cool, if true
