Internet Explorer Support

From June 2017 Clarity will no longer be developing or testing in support of Microsoft Internet Explorer browsers 8, 9 and 10. The newest version, Internet Explorer 11, will continue to be supported.

For help updating your browser, visit whatbrowser.org.

While the Clarity Appraisal Toolkits will continue to function with these older versions of Internet Explorer, over time you may find some functionality does not work or the on-screen presentation might be affected.

Why are we doing this?

• Security - Microsoft announced on the 12th of January 2016that support has been removed for all but the latest-available versions of Internet Explorer, for each version of Windows. This has left Internet Explorer 10, and earlier versions, unsupported and no fixes or patches will be released for any future bugs or security vulnerabilities. From the 13th of January 2016, Microsoft tech support will not help you with issues on Internet Explorer 8, 9 or 10.
• Usage - Usage of old versions of Internet Explorer to access ATK has dropped significantly. This is allowing us to withdraw support for Internet Explorer 8, 9 & 10, confident that very few of you will be affected.
• Expense - Testing on old browsers is expensive, time consuming and prevents us from introducing new technologies that would improve the toolkit.
• Alternatives - We will continue to test for Internet Explorer 11 and all of the common browsers; Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge. We also test against all common mobile browsers.
