    Nice for them!

    We launched a web application for construction companies in Switzerland a few months ago. And quickly learned the hard way that we have to improve the IE compatibility. The last 90 days IE11 was used for 36% of all traffic.

    Too bad the new Edge isn't called IE12 and automatically deployed as a replacement through Windows Update :-)

    I'd be pretty shocked if any ProtonMail users used IE.

    Slack dropped it last month: https://get.slack.help/hc/en-us/articles/115002037526-Minimu...

    I understand them wanting to discontinue browsers that have very low usage and have discontinued support from Microsoft, but I can't help but feel a little sad about the narrowing browser engine ecosystem.

    Maybe I'll be able to reach other ProtonMail users here - does anyone else have persistent issues logging in to the web client? I use Firefox, LastPass, and Authy for 2FA. I have to try 6-7 times to log in every time, it drives me nuts. If it weren't for the mobile app I would have dumped this service long ago (for which I pay $50/year). This is the only site where I have issues logging in.
