We don't have access to that data. We have access to the browser data on phpbb.com and area51.phpbb.com, but due to its nature, it's not exactly typical usage.
(IE,firefox,etc)
It should be assumed that browser data is on par with global average.
Which IE versions should we kill?

Re: Which IE versions should we kill?
Edge just has consumer functions and they're actively working on adding entreprise functions as I said. When IE has all entreprise stuff, it'll be removed.

I have not heard that Edge will get those features.Going4Quests wrote: ↑Sun Oct 18, 2015 3:28 pm Well, Microsoft is going to kill Internet Explorer itself, but only in Windows 10.
Also, as a reminder, in January 2016, Microsoft will stop supporting all but the latest browser on a given OS. That may mean IE 9 for Vista and IE 11 for Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10. (I believe that Windows XP is no longer supported.) That could be something to base phpBB browser support on.

Re:
Did somebody forget that?
The point is that if Microsoft won't support IE 8 on any active operating systems, that seems like a good point to cut things.
I saw a post somewhere (maybe on a phpBB site) that said the poster was still using IE 6! Should we support that? I don't want to be ruthless, but if somebody is still running Windows XP with IE 6, I'm not sure that we should spend resources to support that.

Re: Which IE versions should we kill?
Doesn't really affect us much, if at all. 
From the looks of it, most of the style development in 3.2 has gone on with the assumption that these browsers wouldn't be supported and that was without taking this topic into consideration at all.

Re: Which IE versions should we kill?
Microsoft has killed support for those older browsers as of January 12. Your alternatives include upgrading to IE 11, switching to a rival browser or jumping to Windows 10 to get the Edge browser. The move doesn't mean older versions of IE will disappear from your PC. It does mean no more bug fixes, updates or other patches will be released, leaving those editions vulnerable to malware and other security threats. Ending support for the older versions of Internet Explorer is a way to prod people to newer versions of Microsoft's operating system that support IE 11, especially Windows 10, which debuted in late July, 2016.
