Deprecated: Browser Support Updates

End of support for Microsoft Internet Explorer browser with the November 2020 release production upgrade, and Microsoft Edge-based chromium supported from the May 2020 release.

  • Microsoft Edge-based chromium is supported from the May 2020 release.

  • Microsoft Internet Explorer browser won’t be supported with the November 2020 release production upgrade.

    We’re no longer supporting Microsoft Internet Explorer browser because:
    • Internet Explorer has performance issue, especially when rendering the user interface based on highly complex user interface metadata.

    • Internet Explorer has stability and performance issue as it isn’t supporting all the latest web standards.

    • According to Microsoft, Internet Explorer is only a compatibility browser and not a web browser. Also, Microsoft has reduced its investment into Internet Explorer and restricted the investment for its maintenance.

    • From May 2019 release, we’ve decided not to release all new user interface features for Internet Explorer browsers as Internet Explorer has lot of issues.

With the August 2020 upgrade, a popup message is shown to all users using the Internet Explorer browser, during the login process. The popup message shows end of support for Internet Explorer browser with November 2020 release, along with a link for the recommended browsers. Users can opt not to see the popup message again by clicking on the checkbox Don’t show me this message again.
