I maintain an online game, pokemonshowdown.com
Gamers tend to be pretty technically inclined, so the audience mostly uses pretty modern browsers.
I support down to ES3 (Safari 5, IE9) mostly because I can (I learned web dev back in the old days and still remember all the tricks), although it's nice to see fans talk about playing on obscure platforms like the Nintendo 3DS browser or a Samsung smart refrigerator.
