Module 15 — Support for Additional Browsers

Attribute Value
Category IV.2
Type Minor
Points 1
Status Done
Notes 2 additional browsers
Developers TBD

Description

Ensure full functionality of the GRIT web application in at least 2 browsers beyond the primary development browser (Chrome/Chromium). This includes layout correctness, feature parity, and no JavaScript errors across all tested browsers.


Justification

Web standards are implemented with slight variations across browser engines. A social platform needs to work for all users regardless of their browser preference. Cross-browser testing catches CSS rendering differences, JavaScript API availability issues, and WebSocket compatibility edge cases.


Target Browsers

Browser Engine Status
Chrome / Chromium Blink Primary (tested throughout development)
Firefox Gecko Done
Safari / WebKit WebKit Done

Known Considerations

CSS Compatibility

TailwindCSS v4 with OKLCH colors requires browser support for oklch():

  • Chrome 111+ ✓
  • Firefox 113+ ✓
  • Safari 15.4+ ✓

All target browsers in current versions fully support OKLCH.

WebSocket / Socket.IO

Socket.IO uses WebSockets with a long-polling fallback. All modern browsers support the WebSocket API natively; Socket.IO's transport negotiation handles edge cases automatically.
