Imagine if you are a website developer, what is the first thing you are going to do when you download the brand new Google Chrome?

Ya, the answer is definitely: I have to test my developing websites on the new Google Chrome. I have to make sure that everything looks fine in this new browser!!!

In fact, this is the problem that has been torturing web developers for more than 10 years since the Browser World I. But, it seems like the war is not going to stop( Maybe it will stop after Browser War XIIIIXIVIV… ). Nowadays, there are so many different browsers in the market - Opera, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Flock, and the new Google Chrome. And, they all use different layout engines - Gecko, WebKit, etc. So, basically, the page you view by using Firefox may be different by using Opera or the new Google Chrome.

Besides that, even if you are using the same web browser, the page you view may be different between the versions you use. And, this is especially obvious between Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7. But, it seems like this is not a major problem anymore because people tend to update to the latest version of browser since the speed of Internet is faster than last time( 56Kbps VS 10Mbps ).

So, as a web developer, what is your approach to tackle this rendering problem?

In fact, my solution is very easy. I only design and write web applications for Internet Explorer, Safari, and Firefox. Why? Because these are the browsers that people usually use and occupy big nations in the Browser War.

Lastly, I believe that Google Chrome will definitely be included in my list very soon( Clue: See how Google markets Gmail. ).
