Browser Support

collins

Is it possible to list all browsers currently supported by Flarum? both for desktop and mobile.
Flarum works well on chrome, Firefox and IE11. But I have issues accessing it on Opera, Opera Mini, UC browser (Desktop & mobile).

It will be nice to know if Opera, Opera mini and UC browser are fully supported. Lots of people in my country Use these browsers on their mobile phones due to high compression rate and bandwidth savings.

collins Let's use this thread to allow people to communicate their experiences with browser support and you update it based on their feedback? Mods will assist you with this.

I'm very curious about the results.

Tested on Opera Mini and UC browser for mobile .
Both of them failed. Broken. Only logo displays.

collins you sure it's not just your forum? Both of those browsers work fine. Test again but using this forum

Kyrne I can confirm that flarum loads on both platforms. Why is mine not loading? Just gets broken after logo loads. It works on opera, chrome and firefox. But on Opera Mini and UC browser mini. It just breaks up. i suspect that the data compression technology is not working with my website

Something is definitely wrong. Could you help me define the problem?

Kyrne

collins that's were it can get tricky because we don't have a mobile console. Can you try opera on desktop?

collins

Kyrne Opera on desktop works perfect. What did flarum do that got it working on Opera mini and UC mini? have any idea?

Kyrne

collins I think it's more likely that something you have in your forum broke it rather than something this forum has, mine works fine too. Best thing to do is systematically disable your extensions and see if it gets fixed

Kyrne I have taken some time to figure out what is actually happening and why I'm having issues loading opera mini and UC mini on mobile. I made some discoveries.

I found out that when i turn debug mode "off". Voila! It starts working fine.
But then something else happens. Turning debug mode off slows down my website considerably and it takes much longer time for page to load especially when i clear my browser cache. I have performed a page speed test with debug on and off using gtmetrix.com and the difference is noticeable.

Now my question is?
1. What should i set the debug mode to: TRUE or FALSE?
2. On your setting and flarum is debug turned off?

Kyrne

collins 1. You should always leave debug off unless you are, well, debugging.

I have mine on but my Flarum is a development Flarum and I have no other users.
