Upgrade browser or GTFO. :)

I can't speak for your customers, but we 100% require a modern browser
for Sonar due to similar requirements, and it has yet to be an issue.
I think the days of people squatting on Internet Explorer 6 are over
for technical users. In the extremely rare cases that someone is using
an older browser, asking them to update has never been met with any
resistance.

A bit of a survey here....
A couple of features I'm looking at for current/future products would
be much easier to implement using a certain feature found only in
relatively new web browsers, aka, Chrome/Firefox/Edge updated within
the last year.
One specific browser feature I'm looking at is webassembly. Various
tools out there indicate that around 87% of the installed/active
browsers on the internet are recent enough for native support. Most
of the browsers gained support for this feature early to mid last
year. With autoupdates being the rule instead of the exception,
anyone on a recent auto-updating web browser should support this.
I'm mostly concerned about 'the rest'.
Support for the older browsers is possible, but it adds a level of
complexity (specifically a level of testing) which I would prefer not
to do if I could get away without it.
To be clear: Almost all of the functionality of the upcoming
products won't require these functions. A specific example of
something that might require this is setting up the scripting
functionality as I'm looking at various technologies which would work
best if I could run a chunk of webassembly code in the browser as
part of the code editor. However, other than editing a script, the
rest of the functionality would work fine.
Thoughts?
