One of my acquaintances has a question. Once Microsoft releases their Chromium version of Edge next year on January 15th, how long will Discourse continue to support the old Microsoft Edge? Is there a roadmap for browser support? I hope that this question isn’t too vague.

Looks like it will follow the “standard” 6 week release cycle. Maybe we drop it at the same time as IE11, when it will have gone on for 4 releases?

That dropping support for old Edge on June 2020 could be a good idea.

Ah, okay. A roadmap for certain browsers would be really handy. Also, thank you @jomaxro for categorizing the thread. I wasn’t sure where to put it.

[תמונה] Justin_Vega: A roadmap for certain browsers would be really handy. That doesn’t really exist. The answer we typically give is “we support current versions of the major 4 browsers, IE, Chrome, FF, and Safari”. Major browsers don’t typically disappear like IE, so this is a new situation.

[תמונה] jomaxro: That doesn’t really exist. I was suggesting one.

I’m not sure what good it would do. With browsers like Chrome and Firefox (and the new Edge) updating every 6 weeks or so, the roadmap would be outdated extremely quickly. What’s the use case here? The vast majority of users run up to date browsers, and needn’t worry about the exact version of Chrome, for example. When we deprecate support for a browser, like we’re doing for IE, it’ll be announced.

Falco gave it to you. IE11 support will be dropped June 2020. As of today, there have been no other formal decisions on dropping support for other browsers.
