How would you go about browser compatibility
Before now I've been working on projects where you kinda don't have time to bother about such stuff: if nobody tells you if it's not working in their browser - that's good enough.
But I accidentally opened what I do now in the last safari for windows (2012 version) and kinda freaked out that nothing works at all.
Ideally, it would be cool if there was a service where you could pick a percentage of users you want to be compatible to: like 90%, 95%, 98% and it would give you the list of oldest browser versions that you need to comply with. (like to get to 99% you have to make your site work with ie9). And having that information I'd pick the technologies that I'd have to switch from or provide a fallback.
But that's in my dreamland.
And how would you go about it?

Why don't you use browserstack.
Also another good way to handle browser compatibility is to not use the latest hot thing a hot package hot Library. Rather like Enterprise companies always lag back seven or eight months or even up to a year with technology.
I can tell you now large Enterprise does not go ooh, ooh, ooh, an update to a hot package we need to update our 23 million dollar software.
In fact most state governments and very large Enterprise even lag behind around a year on operating systems.
