Recommendations for Web Browsers

While there is no official campus standard web browser, the Office of Information Technology (OIT) Help Desk has studied several web browsers that are commonly used on campus. Through testing, it has found that these Highly Recommended and Recommended browsers are the most secure and provide the widest range of features. The NOT Recommended browsers may not be completely compatible with OIT enterprise systems; therefore, OIT Help Desk discourages their use. OIT Help Desk recommends the following:

 

PC Web Browsers

Macintosh Web Browsers

Highly Recommended

Firefox 2.x
Internet Explorer 6 with Service Pack 2
Internet Explorer 7

Firefox 2.x
Safari 2.x or higher

Recommended

SeaMonkey 1.1.x

SeaMonkey 1.1.x

NOT Supported

Netscape 7.x**

Internet Explorer 5.2**
Netscape 7.x**

** The vendor no longer supports, updates, recommends or distributes this application
