When using older browsers, you might find trouble with features in Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Talk, Google Docs and Google Sites, the blog post said. In fact, eventually the apps may stop working, the blog post adds.
In addition, Google Apps will support current and prior “major” releases of Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari on a “rolling basis,” the blog said. When a new version is released, Google Apps will support the updated version and stop supporting the third-oldest version, according to the blog post.
“For web applications to spring even farther ahead of traditional software, our teams need to make use of new capabilities available in modern browsers,” the blog post adds. “For example, desktop notifications for Gmail and drag-and-drop file upload in Google Docs require advanced browsers that support HTML5. Older browsers just don’t have the chops to provide you with the same high-quality experience.”
Also, Google Apps recommends that users get the latest version of a browser. These include: Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari.
