  • The desktop_ie10 segment

      • parentnode.dk

    The desktop_ie10 segment is compromise to meet IE halfway. It hardly makes any sense anymore, but we'll keep it for another round. Giving it its own segment is the most flexible approach as developers can then individually decide how to group it with other segments. (0%, 2017)

  • The desktop_ie9 segment

      • parentnode.dk

    The desktop_ie9 segment is a somewhat sad compromise. Feature wise it does not deserve its own segment and should simply be degraded to desktop_light. Despite a low public market share some large corporations and organizations still use this browser internally and thus it is still occasionally a part of the primary support requirement. Therefore degradation is not a valid approach. Giving it its own segment seemed to be the most flexible approach as developers can then individually decide how to group it with other segments.

  • The desktop_light segment

      • parentnode.dk

    The desktop_light segment basically covers all older desktop browsers as far back as the earliest Netscapes and Internet Explorers. It is considered a fallback segment to ensure even old browsers can be supported if so desired. (3%, 2017)

  • The tablet_light segment

      • parentnode.dk

    The tablet_light segment starts with the earliest iPads and Android tablets. It contains tablet OS' like the Android 2.3-4.1 and iOS 3-8. Anything falling below the tablet_light specifications will be indexed as mobile. (1%, 2017)
