Issue/Introduction
Does CA Gen 8.6 support the latest Chromium based MS Edge browser rather than the Edge Legacy version?
Environment
Release : 8.6
Component : CA Gen Miscellaneous Questions
Resolution
As of June, 2021, the latest information from Gen Product Management is:
1) We previously certified and supported Edge Legacy, but since Microsoft expired its support on March 9, 2021, we can no longer support it.
2) We do support Edge Chromium. We have been using it in recent testing cycles, though we have not done a full certification.
------------------------
Details:
You may have noticed that for Browsers, Tech Docs doesn't specify a version number. Users have little control of their browser versions and are commonly kept on the latest version through no decision of their own. As such it's impractical for us to limit users to a specific version. Along similar lines, we test with the latest browser versions. While we haven't officially certified Edge Chromium, many test cases would have been covered in other test cycles. It is in our plans to do a thorough certification testing at some point, though that is not a top priority for this year. Regardless, we will support the latest versions of Edge. If a customer identifies a defect, we will address the issue.
NOTE: The Gen 8.6 Technical Requirements Third-Party Software Version page section for Browsers will be updated to reflect the above soon.
