Following in the footsteps of Bing & Google who have recently announced their own browser compatibility changes which drop support for IE8 on behalf of Bing, and IE9 on behalf of Google. cPanel has acknowledged that continuing to test for, and develop against, older browsers slows down the entire development process – and in an effort to prioritize the delivery of new features cPanel have announced that beginning September 1st (2014) cPanel will stop supporting the following browsers:
- Internet Explorer 8 and older
- Firefox 28 and older
- Chrome 33 and older
- Mobile Safari in iOS 6 and older
- Mobile Chrome 33 and older
You’ll still be able to use these older browsers, as well as browsers not explicitly listed; however any testing in them in relation to the launch of new features will not be performed and any issues with these browsers will not be addressed. This change in product support will affect all actively-supported versions of cPanel & WHM as of September 1, 2014. These versions include the following:
- 11.40
- 11.42
- 11.44
- Any development releases of 11.46
