Planned end of support for Internet Explorer 11
On March 11, 2019, Prophix announced it will remove support for Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) effective December 31, 2019.
If you are currently using IE 11, we recommend switching to Edge or another modern browser such as Google Chrome. Microsoft Edge is the best choice if a Microsoft browser must be used at your organization.
After the End of Support date, functionality in Prophix may not work in IE11, and no minor bugs or cosmetic issues will be fixed for IE11.
Why is Prophix removing support for IE11?
Microsoft released the Edge browser as a replacement for IE11 in 2015 as part of it's Windows 10 operating system. As a result, IE11 no longer receives major updates, and lacks many technical features to support modern web applications. IE11 is considered a legacy browser, with much slower JavaScript and rendering performance than modern browsers like Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge.
Prophix strives to deliver products that meet our customers’ needs. The increasing gap between IE11 and all other browsers has meant that we must expend considerable effort to avoid and fix defects that only appear in IE11. It limits our technology choices and ability to deliver the reliability and functionality our customers expect.
