Indeed. I had been trying to move away from IE for years, but habits are hard to change. These days more and more sites simply misbehave when using IE, so I'm finding I really don't have a choice.
All browsers have their own idiosyncrasies (some mild, some annoying), but so far I find the Chromium-based Edge (or Chredge as some call it) provides the path of least resistance for me.

What kind of users am I attracting? Where have I gone wrong? Should I detect browsers upon connection and instruct them to clean up their act?
It's too late for that. You must delete your web site, erase any backups using DoD 5220.22-M, destroy the server farm that once contained your site, plow it into the ground, and sow the site with salt. Afterwards, you must wear sackcloth and ashes for the rest of your natural life.
This may earn you forgiveness by the LIM (Linux Installations Matter) crowd.

And there comes Safari. Surprise !
On a second thought, that line would have been better with Netscape. Or the Spanish Inquisition.

Because you mentioned it:
Safari was fifth of the five that were displayed, significantly behind Firefox which was significantly behind the nearly tied Edge and Chrome. It was a bar chart - no decent numbers to share.
My (expected) users tend to be older then your standard phone addicts - but no shortage of phone addicts across most of the age groups when I see a subset of them live (on occasion). It took a while for me to train them into not text me because I don't read them or send them.

It works... but I would say it's really difficult when you have so many elements that need to be found before you can even start to work on the anagram.
You get a single element wrong and your anagram efforts are useless.
Also, I am not sure how valid it is to put an anagram indicator in the middle.
Anyway... just observations, not trying to suggest it's wrong.

I thought of it. So referred previous weeks CCC of OG. Found anagram placed anywhere and so used it.

Probably yes, given I was making it up, while reading it looked way simple deduction for regulars to me, I divided a little further.
I will still take the input. Thanks.

So, what? There are rules? That must be where I've been going wrong. I look at CCC every day - and every day I'm baffled. Sometimes even when the answer is provided - as in this case.
Where do I get the rules list from?

You don't find the rules, the rules find you. Break one and see what happens 
I guess they are more guidelines than rules, the main one being: The definition should be at either the start or the end, never in the middle.
Maybe this would interest you?

How does that work? Also putting the anagram suggestion in the middle makes no sense, as it looks like part of the clue should be an anagram of tango.

As shared I referred this while making that call: The Lounge

From start till end of time tango altered the first popular operating computer (9)

That may cause some contention: the "first popular operating computer" was probably this: Jacquard loom[^] - but it was very unpopular with some (and that's where we get "put a spanner in the works" and "Luddites" from), and many fanboise will insist that it describes an Apple product. Others a home computer from a list of many, many possibles, some will want ENIAC, others Colossus, and of course there is the venerable PC ...
Describing anything as "the first popular" is almost certainly a good way to start an argument, but little else!

Yes, I agree. I am hoping there will be no debate on it.
That's it for now.

Clutching at straws here and not very optimistic but is this also the name of a well-known discontinued piece of software?

Okay, my totally wrong theory (just to embarrass myself) was:
From start FR
End of time E
TANGO
First popular P
Altered FRONTPAGE
which might be used by someone operating a computer.
I'll try doing some work now and hang my head in shame.

My notebook's fan was going crazy on windows 10 to the point where it sounded like my machine was possessed then I found this trick and it is quite as a mouse now... Maybe useful to someone...
