Ask HN: How many of your users use IE11 to access your web app?

Recently I came across some data from the UK government on how many people use IE11 to access their services. The figure is around 350K. That is quite a sizeable number. The data, if I recall correctly, was from 2022.

So, I was wondering, how many of you still support IE11; and how many of your users, in absolute numbers, access your app using IE11, and what is the percentage of that user base compared to your total users?

And do you nudge your users to install latest evergreen browser, and also try to understand why they are not able to do so, and what are the challenges that they face?

    Given that the last stable release of IE11 was just a couple weeks ago[0] ... I'd wager that 350K number is off (maybe by an order of magnitude)

    Sure, Edge is IE's successor, but it is far from "dead"
