(1) - Web applications require Browsers with CSS Cascade Layers support. Also, native mobile apps that load those web applications using Component domain (Webview), require devices with the corresponding browser version or an up-to-date base software.
The following is a detailed list of browsers that support this feature https://caniuse.com/css-cascade-layers. Note that on Apple devices, iOS 15.4 or higher is required. Furthermore, Android devices require an updated Android System Webview as stated in on https://caniuse.com/css-cascade-layers
(2) - If Server.Socket external object, ProgressIndicator external object, Responsive Web Design (RWD) features are used these are the minimum supported versions.
As the generated web front end is, in many of its functionalities, based on jQuery 3.5.1, Browser support is mainly tied to https://jquery.com/browser-support/.
(3) - In all cases, the latest available browser version is recommended, primarily because of improvements related to performance and security.
(4) - Refer to https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/enterprise/ for ESR meaning.
