Exactly first of all linux desktop does not have significant market share to spent time on testing. You have to prove your product is working in specific environment, so you pick up perhaps Windows, Apple (iOS) and Android with respective versions because these are the desktops having most of the market share. Then you pick up some browsers: Firefox, IE, Chrome, Safary and particularly the versions. and then finally you can perform the tests and prove the system is working for this OS version and that browser, so forget this linux and low graphics etc. You'll never achieve something, cause PayPal and similar are mainly after the money. They will not spent a dime to make you happy. In the world of HTML5 you are expected to have a decent browser with HTML4 or HTML5 and javascript support at least. regards
