    Websites and Apps are 2 different things altogether.  If you are testing a website, use a browser.  As Nancy eluded to, if your code is up to date and clear of errors you should be in the clear. I can't think of any instances where you would even still run into IE8 or earlier which used to cause issues.

     

    For app development, use your app developer tools like Xcode.  There is no need to test a browser because Apps work with in their OS and not a browser so you need to be able to test that functionality.

    MS ended pulled the plug on it last month and told customers to stop using it and switch to Edge.

    I have no idea what that means. 

     

    Error free code combined with modern web standards is cross-browser friendly.  No special apps required.

     

    See below:

    If your site is not performing well on all modern browsers, validate code and fix your errors.
