Comparison of Mobile Browsers

Peter-Paul Koch, better known as  PPK, has helped web developers worldwide with his browser compatibility tables on QuirksMode.org. He has since been researching on mobile browsers. If you are interested in mobile web development, his articles can be of great utility.

He has rated the following 21 browsers -
  • Safari
  • Android WebKit
  • Dolfin
  • Opera Mobile
  • Palm WebKit
  • Iris
  • BlackBerry WebKit
  • MicroB
  • Symbian WebKit
  • Firefox
  • Ozone
  • BlackBerry old
  • IE Mobile
  • NetFront
  • Blazer
  • Obigo
  • Brew browser
  • Opera Mini
  • Bolt
  • Skyfire
  • UCWeb
He now plans to focus on the following ten smartphone OSs - Android, bada, BlackBerry, iOS, LiMo, MeeGo, Phone 7, Symbian, webOS, Windows Mobile, and is now seeking feedback & validation on data related to them.

Building a Hyderabad Weather Dashboard with the WeatherUnion API

Image
Claude recently helped a techie find his misplaced iPhone although the Find My iPhone feature was disabled by his organization's Mobile Device Management (MDM) policy.  Claude generated a Bluetooth RSSI meter in about one minute & by tracking the phone's Bluetooth signal strength he was able to locate the phone. Commenting on AI's growing role in enabling instant, bespoke software creation for immediate practical needs without traditional development, he  tweeted : " Apparently, you can just create the tool you need now. " That line stuck with me. As a weather enthusiast, I wanted a simple web app to see how the weather differs between localities in my Hyderabad neighbourhood, side by side, before deciding whether to step out. So I built it with the help of Claude & the WeatherUnion API . The visual template came from an unlikely place — ICFOSS's IoT-based Micro Climate Monitoring System for Kerala . It's a public dashboard tracking humidity, tempe...

This Week I Learned - Week 32 2026

This Week I Learned -  * When unconstrained, the AI model can draw from numerous sources to assess its options on how to proceed in answering a prompt, thereby allowing widely varying outcomes. Any foundational decisions or other instructions—artifacts collectively known as “ provenance ” when properly preserved—which were formulated during the original context session and then cleared, are lost. This is the key deficiency of vibe coding which spec-driven development and context engineering seek to address. Context engineering moves a developer from a vibe coding technique to a structured approach to generating code that preserves provenance using key artifacts. This allows context to be restored by other developers, reviewed by other stakeholders, or retrieved at any point if someone wanted to audit the inputs that generated a given codebase or simply wanted to continue building upon them. Different methodologies have emerged that offer different perspectives on how to effectively...
