= Graded Browser Support =

To ensure that everyone enjoys the best possible experience using Launchpad, we've adopted and adapted Yahoo's [[http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/articles/gbs/|Graded Browser Support]] chart.  This has also been inspired by jQuery's browser support matrix.

== Current support ==

 * Currently we support the '''latest version''' of '''Firefox''' and '''Chromium''' at the '''A-grade''' level. We also support as '''A-grade''' the version of these browsers that is released in '''supported version of [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases|Ubuntu]]'''.

 * All '''other browsers''' are treated as '''X-Grade'''. Discovered bugs are fixed on a discretionary basis or by down-grading the broken functionality to C-Grade.

== Grades of Support ==

We use three grades of support:

 A-Grade:: These browsers are fully capable of handling modern web standards.  JavaScript is used to provide a fully enhanced experience. We actively tests our site using these browsers and will rapidly fix bugs encountered with these browsers.

 C-Grade:: These browsers have significant problems with modern display techniques or functionality.  For these browsers, the page provides core functionality, without JavaScript enhancement.

 X-Grade:: Assumed capable, these browsers are presented with the A-grade page, but we do not explicitly test them.  If an X-Grade browser is shown to be incapable — if it chokes on modern methodologies and its user would be better served without decoration or functionality — then it is considered a C-grade browser.
