The following table shows the FOPE browser and operating system matrix, as well as the tier levels for support, which are defined as follows:
-
Tier 1—All advanced features should work well, full testing is done, and all bugs will be triaged and fixed. There may be some cases where certain functionality (such as ActiveX controls) is only available only in a specific browser.
-
Tier 2—All functionality should be accessible, but only basic testing is required and we will rely on the inherent compatibility offered by the browser. However, major bugs will be triaged and fixed.
-
Tier 3—No support at all. This tier encompasses all other browsers not listed in the current matrix.
