There's a light at the end of the tunnel. Once IE 11 is mostly gone, everyone will be on an 'evergreen' browser that auto updates. Once we're there, new features won't take 10 years to be usable.

- vmasto 10y agoUnfortunately, I don't think it's fair to call Edge evergreen. Updates to Edge come via OS updates, which can be quite a hassle and many corporate environments might not perform at a regular basis.

- pitaj 10y agoYep. It's truly unfortunate.
- ygra 10y agoWell, Firefox in corporate environments may just as well be on its ESR version, which lags behind by up to a year.
- flukus 10y agoIsn't windows 10 more evergreen as well? I thought IT departments had a lot less control over updates.
- Vinnl 10y agoAnd the same holds true for Safari (and other browsers) on iOS, I'm afraid. Then again, that probably won't be a matter of decades any more.
- technion 10y agoAs I said on another thread - the problem with that is that Windows 2016 server launched with IE11. So the flagship server OS for the next several years won't support Edge, which is why I'm sitting in enterprise Citrix deployments in 2107 trying to make IE11 work.
- rpeden 10y agoI hope we don't still have to make IE11 work in 2107, but considering how often some enterprises seem to keep ancient software around, it just might happen. :)
