Allow filtering by browser version

[Fyrd]

Unless I understand you wrong, this pretty much exists. :) On the "Tables" tab, click "Show options" and you should see a slider that allows you to do just what you suggest. I realize that option should probably be more visible.

I am aware of the options, but indeed I got a little confused by the interface. Let me try again:

I submit that it would make sense to have the "versions shown" slider affect the checkboxes as well. Currently if I set the minimum browser usage % slider to its maximum value (25.35%, apparently?), all current and future versions of the selected browsers are shown, even though if I hover them I can clearly see their user base as being much less than that.

This is contradictory, so the appropriate checkboxes should be deselected/reselected automatically (or at least disabled/enabled, in order to preserve user's choice) when moving the slider, and the corresponding columns in the table hidden. Does this make sense?

Ah, yes, I see what you're saying. The reasoning behind this behavior is that since the statistics are always from the previous month, the current version usage % is often likely to be out of date (especially for Chrome and Firefox). It seemed to me that in most cases a developer would always want to consider the current version of a browser, since only a growing amount of users would wind up using it.

As for the future browsers, they're highly unlikely to have any meaningful usage %, so they're always visible so people will know what's coming up. If the slider value were to be applied to them, they'd almost always be hidden.

I do suppose this behavior could be made optional, though, since I can see the value of your expected behavior.

Yes, perhaps through a checkbox (labeled "strict filtering" or something to that effect) next to the "versions shown" slider :)
A tooltip for that label with a slightly more detailed explanation could be useful.
