Off on a Tangent is designed for a minimum viewport width of 360 display pixels (dp). It should work properly in any browser that uses a recent version of the Blink, Gecko, Goanna, or WebKit display engines. That includes most modern browsers on most modern operating systems.
I test the site regularly in these browsers, which are “officially” supported:
- Firefox by Mozilla – recommended
- Chrome by Google
- Edge by Microsoft
- Falkon by KDE
- Pale Moon by Moonchild
- Safari by Apple
I test each browser (if available) on the following operating systems:
- Apple iOS, iPadOS, and MacOS
- Debian and EndeavourOS (GNU/Linux)
- Google Android and Chrome OS
- Haiku OS
- Microsoft Windows
I also test Off on a Tangent in prerelease builds of the Ladybird browser, which is not yet “officially” supported, but I plan to add it to the list once it reaches the beta stage.
Lastly, I do limited testing to make sure the site can be used in “lo-fi” and text-only browsers like Arachne, Dillo, Links, Lynx, Netsurf. It won’t be pretty though . . . but you should be able to read the content if nothing else!
If you have problems using the site in a supported browser on a supported operating system, please contact me to report the issue. Include the names and version numbers of both the browser and operating system, and provide a detailed description (or clear screenshot) of the problem.
