It is possible to write in specific checks that would allow some of the modern functionality to work in older browsers, but this is time-consuming for developers and testers, and would also cause a delay to the 99% of our users already using a compliant browser while the additional code is loaded and the checks are performed.

HTML version 5, the latest standard for how the web is built, was formally introduced in October 2014.ĬSS version 3, the standard for presentation on the web, has been formalised in sections beginning in 2012 and continuing up until the present day.ĮCMAScript version 6, (commonly known as Javascript) which is used for advanced website features, was finalised in June 2015.Īll modern browsers under active development support almost all the features as specified in these different web standards.

We strive to make both SheepCRM, and the self-service SheepApp as compliant as possible with current standards. With the release of Microsoft's Edge browser for Windows 7 and 8 we expect Internet Explorer's market share to dwindle further still. It is no longer possible to easily purchase and install an operating system with Internet Explorer as the default browser. For such a small percentage of users, it is not in the best interests of us or our clients to spend time developing and testing against an obsolete browser. Since 2016, market share for Internet Explorer has fallen from over 20% to below 3%. We regularly test against all modern browsers with a significant market share. Our intention is for SheepCRM to be the best product it can be. There are a number of factors which have led to our decision not to support Internet Explorer. Also the perceived value of personal information has increased to the point where it is paramount to do everything possible to ensure sensitive information remains protected. In the time since then, new standards and technologies have emerged which are not supported in Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer was the flagship browser for Microsoft's Windows operating system for over 20 years, but since the release of Windows 10 in 2015 (along with the new Edge Browser) it is no longer under active development. If you take a look at our Supported Browsers page, you'll see a fairly standard list of supported and tested browsers, covering 99% of commonly used browsers today, with one obvious omission: we do not support any version of Internet Explorer.
