Syncfusion® Angular UI components are designed to work seamlessly across modern web browsers. Understanding browser compatibility ensures applications function correctly for all users and helps developers make informed decisions about supported platforms. This document outlines the supported browser versions and key compatibility considerations.

Supported Browser Versions

Note: “Latest” refers to the most recent stable version released by the browser vendor. Evergreen browsers automatically update, ensuring users stay current with minimal effort.

JavaScript Support

Syncfusion® Angular components require browsers that support modern JavaScript standards:

  • ES2015 (ES6) or higher for Angular 12-14
  • ES2020 or higher for Angular 15 and above

All modern browsers listed above meet these requirements in their supported versions.

For the most up-to-date information, refer to the official Angular documentation on Supported Browsers.

Modern Web Standards and Browser Support

Syncfusion® Angular UI components leverage modern web standards to deliver optimal performance, enhanced security, and improved developer experience with minimal dependency on polyfills or compatibility layers.

Key Compatibility Features:

  • Evergreen Browser Optimization: Components are optimized for automatically updating browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari) that continuously receive the latest web standards and security updates.

  • Angular Alignment: Syncfusion® components follow Angular’s official browser support policy, ensuring consistent compatibility across the ecosystem.

  • Mobile Support: Full support for modern mobile browsers on iOS (Safari) and Android (Chrome) platforms, including responsive design and touch interactions.

  • Progressive Web Apps (PWA): Compatible with PWA features when used with supported browsers, enabling offline functionality and app-like experiences.

Rendering Engines

Syncfusion® Angular components are tested and validated across major browser rendering engines:

  • Some features may have limited functionality or require additional polyfills.
  • Performance may be impacted compared to modern browsers.
  • As IE11 usage continues to decline, consider the necessity of extensive IE11 support in new projects.
