Google Analytics and IE Errors -- are they pushing Chrome?

Is Google being sneaky again

[Ducki]

Lately I've noticed several web sites I use not working well in IE but being fine in FireFox. While an argument could be made that IE isn't fully standards compliant, personally I think you'd be dumb to design anything that doesn't work in the industry standard browser.

So today when the Google Analytics interface gave me consistent errors in IE but worked fine in FireFox and Chrome I began to wonder. Is Google simple doing this to stick MS in the ribs and to get people to adopt Chrome.

I guess it's possible Google is innocently simply designing for the standards by why would Google knowingly create pages that couldn't be used in the industry standard browser -- unless they had a browser of their own to push.

For what it's worth.

I sometimes run into that problem myself, since I rarely fire up IE. I start by verifying that IE works, but then forget to re-verify after I make changes.

Seems likely to me that few Google employees use IE as their default browser.

doesn't work in the industry standard browser

I'd prefer not to describe IE by using the word standard - let's call it the "market dominant browser".

much people don't care about IE users, because they think IE-sucks ;) (i think IE lower than 8 does :P but i do care about the people visit whit IE) and if you have a mac (like me) it is very difficult to test in IE.
