State of web browser compatiblity
Posted: 12 Jan 2021, 07:52
The site requires TLS 1.2 and modern certs for HTTPS, however it is available over HTTP so it's a bit moot.
If the website is somewhat broken with the default aero theme, try switching to the legacy theme, either using the user control panel, or by visiting this link: https://forum.eclipse.cx/index.php?style=5
Thanks for the testing done in this thread, allowing me to add more browsers to the list.

WaMCom (Classilla predecessor): Only main page loads, any other page hangs the browser, even with the legacy theme. Blocking cookies and JS does not work.
Retrozilla: Works, it's similar to Firefox 3.6.28, but some icons are broken (Color picker and delete cookies icons), and it's slower. Legacy theme untested.
Firefox 3.6.28: Works, but forum images have broken formatting, you can't change the default theme color scheme, and you can't register because the captcha doesn't load. Legacy theme untested.
Firefox 23.0.1+: Seems to have no issues, after enabling TLS 1.2 in about:config.
New/Pale Moon 26.5.0+: Seems to have no issues.
Opera 3.62: Very broken, but said to be usable. Legacy theme is much better.
Opera 9.50: Works, but some of the icons are said to be off. Legacy theme untested.
Opera 12.18+: Seems to have no issues.
Chromium 22+: Seems to have no issues.
Internet Explorer 3: Only able to load HTML. Legacy theme untested.
Internet Explorer 5: Main theme untested. Legacy theme has broken images, but looks to be working.
Internet Explorer (Quirks mode): Very broken. Legacy theme untested.
Internet Explorer 6: Said to be broken, but still usable. Legacy theme untested.
Internet Explorer 7: Said to barely work, unable to test myself. Legacy theme untested.
Internet Explorer 8: Similar to Firefox 3.6.28. Legacy theme untested.
Internet Explorer 9: Seems to have no issues, but it's quite slow.
Internet Explorer 10+: Seems to have no issues.
