Personally, I'm less concerned about requiring a recent browser as I am about requiring an antique one. I have a Windows XP VM with IE6 just to manage certain old devices that won't work in a recent browser. If you have some Timelord magic to make an application that will work in the recent browsers 10 years from now, then please do that. ------ Original Message ------ From: "Forrest Christian (List Account)" <[email protected]> To: "af" <[email protected]> Sent: 3/14/2018 7:49:36 PM Subject: [AFMUG] Require Recent Web Browser? >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.
