Tech/Engineering - Computers (general)
German term or phrase: gängig
"Gehen Sie zum xxx, um von jedem gängigen Webbrowser auf Ihr Pogoplug zuzugreifen und Inhalte zu veröffentlichen. Geben Sie Filme und Fotos für Freunde und Familienmitglieder frei, hören Sie Musik oder greifen Sie auf Ihre wichtigen Dokumente zu - von überall!"

This is really not my area of expertise! I accepted a pro bono assignment without knowing that it is IT-related [the only area I really never ever do :)]
Help appreciated!
