Retiring IE11 support for Atlassian cloud, server, and data center products

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

@Mikhail Varian- a couple of Community Leaders have asked Atlassian to comment directly, hopefully, you'll see a bit more soon.

(Personally, I'm here because I use smaller browsers sometimes.  I don't mind that they aren't supported, but it does annoy me when there is a complete block like the one the Seamonkey users are reporting.  But I'm still very happy that IE11 has been taken and put out of our misery)

I really wonder if definition of "soon" varies depends on circumstances :)

Just a tip for anyone who wants to bypass this browser block in Confluence (at least in Waterfox) - load the page and hit the stop button in your browser before it loads in the "Browser not supported" page.  Some of the tables will load in incorrectly but it's better than nothing.

This is just to confirm that Confluence started to work from SeaMonkey

It sure as heck is not working here (on my SeaMonkey--"User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.14; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0 SeaMonkey/2.53.6
Build identifier: 20210117222001"--and on my employer's Confluence site).

Trying it still yields the "Browser not supported" page.
