This sucks!!
Since last 2 days I am getting this yellow bar on top of Airtable and it can not be clicked away. Basically I must download one of the required browsers to use Airtable which is nonsense. I need ONLY be told once. Don’t impose what browser I use. The browse I use is chrome based and it works perfectly FINE. It is updated to a very recent version of chrome engine. If things don’t work or break, okay, I have been warned, once, maybe twice, okay maybe threee times. But enough is enough.

Heck Airtable.

This sucks!!

I know I am a misfit when it comes to browsers and I have a right to be that way. I was informed and that is enough.

Airtable thinks you MUST be using one of these, of find another product:

Well, that sucks.

But I can sympathize with the need to limit the number of supported browsers. Testing on lots of browsers is a huge pain, not to mention coding for them. And the support issue are a pain too. Finally, the developers don’t want to deal with any security issues might crop up in unsupported browsers.

Are you sure this is about the browser, not the javascript engine running in these browsers? I would contact support for a definitive answer.

Does it matter? Yes - if you know the javascript requirements, you can ask your browser vendor to update.

Perfect. Good suggestion. I do that. And I get also the validation of feeling like an expert when I talk to them :wink:
