SharePoint Servers 2016 and 2019 supports several commonly used web browsers, such as Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, and Microsoft Edge. However, certain web browsers can cause some SharePoint Servers 2016 or 2019 functionality to be downgraded, limited, or available only through alternative steps.
As you plan your deployment of SharePoint Servers 2016 or 2019, we recommend that you review the browsers used in your organization to guarantee optimal performance with SharePoint Servers 2016 and 2019.
Key planning phase of browser support
Browser support is an important part of your SharePoint Servers 2016 or 2019 implementation. Before you install SharePoint Server, make sure that you know the browsers that SharePoint Server supports. The information in this article describes browser support in the following sections:

Review the details of the web browser that you have or plan to use in your organization to make sure that the web browser works with SharePoint Server 2016 and 2019, and according to your business needs.
Internet Explorer and older functionality
Note
Some older SharePoint functionality that relies on NPAPI or ActiveX will not work on browsers other than Internet Explorer. Microsoft open office for mac. You can work around each of these issues by using Internet Explorer to perform these tasks.
Using ActiveX controls in SharePoint Server
Some functionality in SharePoint Server requires ActiveX controls. This produces limitations on browsers which do not support ActiveX. Currently only 32-bit versions of Internet Explorer support this functionality. In SharePoint Server 2016, all other supported browsers, including Microsoft Edge and the Immersive mode of Internet Explorer 10 have the following limitations.
For SharePoint Server 2016 and 2019, browsers other than Internet Explorer 11 have the following limitations.
Other functionality, such as Form settings in List settings only function with Internet Explorer.
Mobile browser support
SharePoint Server 2016 supports the following versions:

Symptoms
Assume that you have the Click-to-Run version of Office 365 and Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) 5 Service Pack 2 (SP2) installed on the same computer. When you try to open documents from SharePoint by using Office applications, you receive the following error message:
Edit Document requires a Microsoft SharePoint Foundation compatible application and web browser.
Cause
To work around this issue, remove the iexplore.exe process from the ProcessesUsingVirtualComponents registry key in the following location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftAppVClientVirtualization
There are side effects for this workaround, as follows:
The registry key that toggles this on or off is EnableDynamicVirtualization. In addition, those processes that are specified for this feature are listed in the ProcessesUsingVirtualComponents registry key that's located in the same key. By default, Explorer.exe and Internet Explorer are listed there.
Dynamic Virtualization has a limited scope of interaction designed for features that are introduced in App-V SP 2.
This leads to an important statement: Just because the application is hooked, it doesnât always mean that it's running virtualized if it's displayed as a process under the ProcessesUsingVirtualComponents registry key. This will be done at the thread level. When an ActiveX OCX or a DLL that implements a shell extension is loaded from a native process or a process from another virtual application, App-V generates an additional virtual environment on demand linking the package that contains the OCX or DLL with the process. Then dynamic virtualization is turned on for that particular thread. As soon as the thread exits, dynamic virtualization is turned off. If the said thread with dynamic virtualization spawns another thread, that thread will also be virtualized.
Note
Microsoft office for mac update to 64 bit. When you turn off the Dynamic Virtualization and remove the executable paths from the previous configuration, you will lose the functionality described above.
More information
If you need App-V to function inside Internet Explorer, say for your own custom Internet Explorer add-ins that require App-V, contact Microsoft Technical Support and get help from the Office support team.
