IE is still the most prominent corporate and governmental browser though. I dunno what Edge is, do I need to?
Edge is the browser that's replacing IE on Windows 10. I just checked a W10 preview that I have on a virtual machine and couldn't find IE. As I mentioned in another note, Edge defaults to HTML5.
I haven't seen one of those in many years. Somehow the onus was turned around - it used to be the website that had to accomodate the user's weird and wonderful browser, it is now the other way around - I dunno how many times a day I get the "your browser is outdated" message.
Many older browsers don't support newer features. For example, I can still fire up OS/2. The Web Explorer in it doesn't work well now, yet it's less than 20 years old. ;-) There are also many security issues with older browsers that are no longer supported. I expect IE will fall into this category in the not too distant future. BTW, I have configured all my browsers, on both personal and work computers to default to HTML5 on Youtube, if they don't already do so. I don't know if that applies to other sites. I have Android tablet and phone and also an iPhone 6 for work. None of them support Flash, IIRC. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
