What crossbrowser tips do you seggest me?

This morning I read about how much Google is working on crossbrowsing.

Google is partnering with other browser vendors and industry partners to fix the top five browser compatibility pain points for web developers

I was pleasantly surprised by this, because for me the verification of multiple devices always turns out to be boring.

What strategies do you implement for an excellent crossbrowser development?

I believe that the most issues we've had when it comes to cross-browser compatibility was... the one and only IE. Now that it is almost trashed, there is no need to do individual development only for IE (and I believe that I heard Edge using Chromium, which means that writing cross-browser code will only become simpler). For older browser we just use pollyfils and webkits, and we didn't have any issues (now if we also add mobile browsers into account...)

Do you still use pollyfils?

Yeah, for IE mostly (for some reasons bankers and executives loooooovee IE). Nowadays we don't have a lot of trouble.

Public administrations, banks and all structures with closed or non-updateable systems, for security reasons, have for a long time represented a large percentage of global users... Yep!
