E-learn Weblog of Willem van Valkenburg

I’m not sure but maybe there is a serious problem with making Blackboard compatible with Chrome. I’ve seen other site behaving really strange in Chrome as well and also the PDF plug-ins for Chrome don’t work as well and handy as they do for Firefox and IE. When a browser is popular it doesn’t automatically mean it’s good or a mature product. I used Chrome a few times but went back to Firefox and IE because it did not work well enough on too many sites. On the Mac I use Safari and that works great. So far no problem on that with any site. With Blackboard our experience is that it works best with Firefox.

A lot of our users use Google Chrome and we almost don’t have issues. It works just as good or even better than Firefox and certainly better than IE. However, looking at the release notes for SP5 Blackboard mentions that IE9 and Firefox4 are under provisional support, because they were released too late to perform complete testing.
