Yes but... I used to work for a large financial institution that wouldn't let any of us do anything to our computers so we were all stuck with outdated IE that didn't update itself automatically


That's a policy problem rather than a technical or provider problem. I bet if your employer used Chrome they'd just lock down the version of that as well, courtesy of https://support.google.com/installer/answer/146164?hl=en


As a web developer, the reason for the problem is irrelevant. If your users are using an older browser, it doesn't matter why; you still have to support it. You and they probably have little influence over changing the policy.


And if they used Firefox they wouldn't have disabled the update functionality?
