Minimum requirement for browsers such as IE9 and other compatible versions

My web app requires IE9 - what are the equivalent browser versions for Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and others?

I am able to detect the user's current browser and version, and if it is not compatible, I am considering providing links for them to download a more recent browser.

The client code is written in AngularJS.

Additional information: Many of my users are still using IE8. Some users have expressed a desire for the website to display a message stating that their browser is not supported and may not fully function with all features. They also would like to receive a notification suggesting equivalent browser versions that would work for them.

Answer №1

It's quite a bold assumption to think that Chrome and Firefox operate in the same way as IE8/7/6, and that users of those browsers are all using outdated versions.

Both Chrome and Firefox come with automatic update services, so the only way a browser would be outdated is if the user or administrator intentionally disabled those updates. In that case, directing them to install a different browser would be pointless.

AngularJS had very targeted code specifically for IE8 support, but in version 1.3, they decided to stop updating and testing for that browser. It became a burden for them without any real benefit.

The market share for IE8 is minimal, and an even smaller portion of users are likely to switch browsers just because they were asked to.

Instead of worrying about managing browser versions, focus on writing high-quality JavaScript that only runs extensions when they are supported. Make sure to thoroughly test your code across various browsers to ensure compatibility.
