Why does Discourse prevent users to login with Safari 14.8?

@RGJ

There is (dutch) case law that has decided that a similar clause as this clause from https://www.digitalbanking.rbs.co.uk/TermsAndConditions.aspx includes keeping your iOS up to date. Performing an update was considered a “reasonable step to keep your security details safe”.

I’d be interested in reading this decision, if you could link to a copy.

This appears to be the Discourse policy on the subject of browsers, which seems like a fair balance:

@david

Our policy has always been to support the “latest, stable releases of all major browsers and platforms”.

@david

Yes - any unsupported browser is given the basic HTML view. (We make sure that works even on mega-old browsers like Internet Explorer 6! )

It would be interesting to have statistics on which internet users are excluded. I suppose for each forum it would depend on the intended audience.
