I’m afraid, however, that I’ve had to drop support for Internet Explorer 11 or earlier. These are the worst web browsers that ever existed. I did my best with them, as long as I could. But they’re riddled with layout and security problems that are expensive for me to support. And today, these browsers are used by an ever-tinier fraction of <span class="no-hyphens">visitors.</span></p> <p>Therefore, the kindest thing I can do is encourage you to <strong>switch browsers</strong>. For instance, <a href="https://www.google.com/chrome/">Google Chrome,</a> <a href="https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/">Mozilla Firefox,</a> or <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/microsoft-edge">Microsoft <span class="no-hyphens">Edge.</span></a></p> <p>See you on the other side.</p> <p>—Matthew <span class="no-hyphens">Butterick</span></p></div><a id="links"></a><div class="gap" style="height:1em"></div><ul class="children"></ul></div> </body> </html> <!-- © 2010–18 Matthew Butterick -->
