      Deprecation of support for Internet Explorer & Edge Legacy

      In line with Microsoft support lifecycle, Decisions will stop supporting Internet Explorer as of July, 2022, and Edge Legacy as of October, 2022.

      As Microsoft changes focus from Internet Explorer to Microsoft Edge, Decisions needs to follow. As of June 15, 2022, Microsoft has retired and put Internet Explorer out of support, and Decisions will align and do the same in July, 2022. 

      Reasons for deprecation

      • #1 - Improved compatability
      • #2 - Streamlined productivity
      • #3 - Better browser security
