Recommendations
If you are using Windows operating system, we recommend to choose Safari, Chrome or Firefox browser. Each of
them performs very good. And if you really prefer Internet Explorer, use IE7 version instead of IE8, because there is a
performance degradation in latest browser version which may be fixed in future browser releases. IE6 currently is 8
years old not oficially supported – most advanced features will be disabled.
If you are working on Mac OS X operating system, all major browsers (latest Safari and Firefox versions) works
perfectly fast.
