Why Internet Explorer is not supported


Most software products, including those developed by Syncplify, utilize web-based user interfaces (UIs), designed to be secure, modern, and compatible with contemporary browsers.

All Chrome/Chromium-based browsers, Firefox-based browsers, and other modern browsers are fully supported. However, Internet Explorer (IE) is categorically not supported and must never be used under any circumstances.

Internet Explorer is fundamentally obsolete, insecure, and incompatible with modern web standards. It does not adhere to current DOM (Document Object Model) or JavaScript (ECMA-262) standards, resulting in critical security vulnerabilities and numerous compatibility issues. Using Internet Explorer exposes your entire infrastructure to severe security risks, including catastrophic data breaches, malware infections, and system compromise.

Even Microsoft - the creator of Internet Explorer - has officially abandoned it, removing support from their Office suite as of August 2021, and completely terminating support for IE as of June 2022, shifting exclusively to the newer, safer Edge browser.

For Syncplify to continue supporting Internet Explorer, in any environment, would not only be reckless but also dangerous. That's why as of Syncplify Server! version 6.x, and for all current and future versions, incoming requests from Internet Explorer will be proactively forbidden.

If you value your security, privacy, and overall software compatibility, immediately discontinue any use of Internet Explorer and transition to a secure, modern browser.
