Internet Explorer was used quite a bit by a lot of people when it was the default browser in Windows, but from what I know I think that Windows has now switched to Edge, so there is about 1% of our user base which still uses Internet Explorer, but the general consensus in the company between product and engineering is that we're not going to support that from now.
Safari / Scrolling
Trouble making a design work on desktop and mobile? What did you do?
The interesting one that, you know, we had to scratch our heads to find out what was really going on was... There is this thing I guess in iOS and Mac as well, that Apple adds a little custom scroll at the end of pages, on browsers. There's a special effect when you scroll to the end. That behavior was kind of disturbing us when one of our layouts that we had built for desktop and mobile both. So the scroll worked fine in Chrome in iOS, in Chrome and Safari on macOS. But in Safari for iOS there was somewhere where that scroll was interfering with our scroll. Sometimes, if you slide somewhere it would scroll and if you slide with a different angle or you slide very fast then the scroll wouldn't work directly. That was an issue where there was no solution or help on the internet, so we had to get creative and redesign some of the screen to get around this problem. I don't really know what that problem actually is, but most of the internet help we found was about Apple's custom scroll animation at the bottom interfering with the browser, or something like that.

Browser support / Internet Explorer
We officially support... I think our browserslist is pretty standard, last 2 major versions, not dead, >1%, market share, and we officially cut IE11. We were supporting that until we realized just how bad the site was in IE11, no one had ever tested it. We tested it and discovered that, in fact, most of it didn't work in IE, so we just decided to drop it. Most of our users are tech savvy, they're startups and they're using browsers that are not IE, so it's not our audience.
