IE11 isn’t secure either… you can’t secure a customer’s data when they are using a tool that doesn’t meet current security standards, which IE11 does not. You’re helping the business move forward! You’re an advocate for progress by kicking support for IE11 to the curb. Second, so we aren’t supposed to do something because it’s hard? We shouldn’t push back on corporate standards because they are wrong? I’m not talking about doing something bad, this is a good thing… it’s a good move for the organization. “You don’t understand the corporate world… you don’t get how hard it is to change.” First, yes I do. This isn’t some ivory tower statement I’m making. It’s extra work to support IE11, but it’s also forcing you to create bad solutions! Things like developers can add a surcharge for making sure sites and apps support IE11. I like some of the suggestions by Neal Burger in his post The ONLY reason you should use IE11 is if there is a specific app that won’t work in any other browser… just as Microsoft says, use it as a compatibility solution. Just STOP using IE11 as your primary browser. Web developers buy into it… we can’t stand IE11 because it doesn’t support modern web standards, but many organizations still have it set as their default browser.Īs a developer, did you know if you support IE11, you have to compile all your JavaScript to ES5 instead of ES6? This increases the bundle sizes by 30% in many cases which can turn into a significant performance decrease. Unless you use the old “Classic” UI due to security & performance issues For instance, Salesforce strongly discourages customers from using IE11 with their app Many organizations are dropping support for it too. IE11 today commands less than 8% market share behind Chrome & FireFox Microsoft is not supporting modern web standards in IE11 and more and more developers aren’t testing for it. That IE11 is not a safe & secure browser. The perils of using Internet Explorer as your default browser
In March 2019, Chris Jackson of Microsoft, wrote in his post Microsoft no longer calls it a “web browser”… they call it a “compatibility solution”.
It’s long past time we as an industry stop using IE11 and get more aggressive in dropping support for it. We’d all consider those things to be old… yet there are still organizations that are still using IE11 as their primary browser. The iPhone 5s, HTC One & Samsung Galaxy S4 were the popular phones. Frozen, Gravity & Iron Man 3 were released in the theater. You know what this past weekend marked? Sunday, October 13 marked the 6 year anniversary of the release of Internet Explorer 11 (IE11).īlurred Lines by Robert Thicke & Wrecking Ball by Miley Cyrus were released that year.
