Web browser support: update

UniProt strives to support all major web browsers, up to the oldest version supported by the browser developers. Since Microsoft stopped supporting Internet Explorer versions older than 11 in January 2016, we have dropped support for these versions as of UniProt release 2016_10.

We recommend to use one of the following major web browsers for the UniProt website:

• Internet Explorer 11+
• FireFox 45+
• Chrome (latest update)
• Safari 9+

For older versions of these browsers, certain features of the website may not be available (use the 'whatbrowser' tool to check which browser version you are using).
