Drop support for IE 10 #13613
Comments
Dropping support for IE10 in Matomo 4 should be fine I reckon. |
I think it's quite clear we will drop support for IE 10. The only question is are there also other browser we should consider dropping support for? I would say for now we only drop IE 10. If we run into any issues during development re any browser then we consider dropping it as well depending on the problem etc. This applies of course only to the tracking part. |
I suppose we could close this issue @Findus23 ? |
As great as it would be, dropping support for IE11 will be quite hard as it is still "supported" by Microsoft.
You mean this (dropping IE10 support) applies to everything apart from tracking? |
Yes. |
Actually I reopen so it won't be forgotten to put this into the release notes. |
@tsteur in general whenever there is an issue, and it has been closed, then it will appear in the changelog. To highlight the issue to the top of the changelog, we can add still sounds good to keep track of release notes, created https://github.com/matomo-org/matomo/wiki/Matomo-4.0.0-release-notes |
While we are on the topic of unpopular support changes, let's continue with Internet Explorer. 馃檪
Internet Explorer 10 hasn't been receiving security updates since
January 12, 2016
(source) and using it to access the internet is highly dangerous. In addition IE 10 never was really popular and seems to be only be used by 0.07%.Therefore I think it is really easy to completely drop support for IE 10 in Matomo 4.
Personally I would like to also drop IE 11 and only support Edge, but I guess this won't be feasible as far to many companies are using it and don't have another way to access Matomo.
In addition IE 11 still receives security updates (but unfortunately no bug fixes anymore).
Funfact:
As Microsoft doesn't seem to be planning to release an update that isn't called Windows 10, IE 11 will probably be supported for eternity 馃檪 .
Note: This does not mean IE 10 users won't be tracked anymore. The tracking script will continue to support ancient browsers. (Although it might be worth it to move the definition of "ancient" to IE7+ #6093 (comment))
