We will stop supporting Internet Explorer 11 (IE 11) as a browser for Flowcase from 01/08/2021. If you are currently using IE 11, you’ll need to switch to another browser in order to access your Flowcase account. If you are required to use a Microsoft product, we recommend switching to Microsoft Edge. In this article, you’ll read more about why we made this decision, what this means for you as a Flowcase user and what you’ll need to do.
Why?
While Internet Explorer once was the most popular web browser, it hasn’t been for a while now. Here are the main reasons why we’re ending support for IE 11:
- Microsoft Edge replaced IE 11 as the default browser on Windows in 2015. Since then Internet Explorer has not received major updates, making it considerably more vulnerable to security threats compared to other browsers we support.
- IE 11 has a big technical gap with other browsers and supports far less modern-day web browser functionalities. This prevents us from building you the best Flowcase experience possible.
- Microsofts’ own product line like Office 365 and Microsoft Teams have already stopped supporting IE11.
By no longer supporting IE 11 we can ensure everyone operates in a safe Flowcase environment while enabling our engineers to use the latest technologies.
What do I do?
If your browser is controlled by your technical department, please contact them and recommend to upgrade your company wide default browser (see technical personnel below).
If you are able to choose your own browser, we recommend to download one of our suggested browsers;
