fetch() can definitely be aborted, and what "older browsers" don't support fetch? You must be talking maybe about Internet Explorer 11, the only older browser that is still somewhat used (in Japan and public/old infra) that doesn't support it?

- romellem 4y agoI work on a site that gets a small percentage (less than 0.1%) views from iOS 10 devices, which doesn’t support fetch. This still amounts to a few dozen views.
- kllrnohj 4y agoSince the gov.uk page is talking about 2G users, I'd imagine that "old browsers" here means "whatever Nokia shipped over a decade ago"
- robin_reala 4y ago2G users can include “users on the latest iPhone or Samsung who are in Scotland”. Try https://www.o2.co.uk/coveragechecker https://www.o2.co.uk/coveragechecker and look at Kinlochewe for an example.
- gunapologist99 4y agoFrom that page, it appears that older versions of Android Chrome don't support fetch at all. I've seen stats that indicate that 5% of the U.S. population (to say nothing of other parts of the world) are still on Android Oreo (version 8), which wouldn't surprise me since older phones are basically locked in time.
- derkades 4y agoUnlike on iOS, I don't think the browser version is tied to the operating system anymore? Besides the AOSP browser that no one uses
- gunapologist99 4y agoNo, you're correct, but you're missing the point; what version of Chrome is on Android 8? Because it's definitely not Chrome 104, which apparently is the earliest version that supports Fetch, according to CanIUse.
