[keycloak-dev] Keycloak IE11 Support?

[Václav Muzikář]

The original MS Edge was never broadly adopted (in fact, IE still has
higher market share [1]) and currently is kinda brain dead. It'll be
replaced by "Chredge", i.e. Edge based on Chromium. But it's still a tech
preview / beta and we expect no compatibility issues as it's basically
Chrome with different UI.

I believe IE is still used in many companies (which are often stuck on Win
7) even though it's practically a dead browser.
