Uhhh, ok. Dilemma time. IE10 has like ~3-5% market share. Should be supported by general purpose tools, even if it significantly impacts the experience on all other browsers?

Bonus points for folks that can explain their reasoning; it's hard to base decisions on quantity alone haha

We should not need to support IE versions Microsoft does not support: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsforbusiness/end-of-ie-support …

Yeah oops, I meant 11 for sure — when would be a good time to stop supporting 11 in favor of Edge, I wonder.

Thought process: tech literate people with money upgrade devices and get new browsers. Tech illiterate people without money continue using old browsers. By dropping support for old browsers, you disproportionately target tech illiterate low income people.

Ya, this is my feels too. I kinda feel that if we support Apple browsers, we must also support MS browsers — can imagine computers in libraries not necessarily running Chrome

Tools that exclude 3-5% are not “general purpose”.

At some point we need to move on. There should be B-grade support for non-evergreen browsers (ahem Safari), but unfortunately we still have to play the numbers game and these browsers still need to be supported for now.
