Browser compatibility and notifications

Compatible browsers

Jostle supports the latest two versions of all major browsers, including:

• Chrome
• Firefox
• Safari (Mac)
• Microsoft Edge
• Internet Explorer (11)*

Javascript and cookies need to be enabled as well.

NOTE—full support doesn’t extend to these browsers on mobile. If using an iPhone, iPad or Android device to access the Jostle platform, we recommend doing so via our mobile app instead.

*While IE11 is currently supported by Jostle, it is not recommended. As Microsoft 365 will be removing its support for IE11 in August 2021, Jostle will be phasing out their own support of the browser around that same time.
