long awaited Firefox 100 available as of today. The 100th version released has useful innovations.
Released for both mobile and desktop Firefox 100, Although it was not a huge update, it managed to attract attention. The most pleasing thing here was the subtitle support for the picture-in-picture mode. This feature for desktop has been demanded by hard users for a long time. It is among the information that it works on sites that support the WebVTT video format, including YouTube, Netflix and Prime Video. The 100th version, which won the “only open HTTPS version of sites” setting on the Android side, brings HDR video support on the Mac side and pushes tabs that have not been opened for 14 days to the background. There are some other minor changes in the version that brings security and performance improvements.
The 100th version code passed for popular browsers creates a problem for websites that are not ready for the new era. Internet browsers contain a “user agent” code sequence. This code string gives information about the website or server that is entered, including which browser is used. Websites use this information to make browser-specific adjustments (for example, Chrome), so that a smooth experience is achieved.
Currently, many websites can only detect browser version codes as two digits. In other words, there is no problem with version codes such as 98 or 99. However, due to the established infrastructure, there are websites that cannot read the three-digit “100” number at the moment.
Google, Mozilla and Microsoft have been warning about this for a long time and want their websites to go into the new era. However, the internet is a very big medium and there are some sites that have problems in the new period.
