Programmers make mistakes, software foundations like iOS and Windows change every year, engineers update internet communication standards and online services change their programming interfaces. Software that breaks as time passes is nothing unusual. Although Duda fixed the issue before Chrome 100 shipped, several other sites are still affected. Some sites built with the Duda website creation tool also showed problems, according to Chrome's bug tracker. Problems using Chrome, Firefox and Edge have been reported at sites including Mercedes-Benz, a license plate renewal tool in Ontario, Canada, IMB Bank in Australia and India's Space Resource Organization. Problems can include websites not working at all or showing a popup erroneously saying your browser is out of date. Browsers share their version number through a short text description called the user agent string, but website scripts sometimes extract just two of the three digits in the version number. The problem crops up because developers sometimes try to adapt their websites for particular browser versions, for example by removing features that won't work on older releases. It's a problem that, though rare, also affects people using Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Edge. Google on Tuesday released Chrome 100, an iteration of the dominant browser that can trip up websites that weren't written to handle three-digit version numbers.
