Hello everyone,

Which browser is best compatible with Kibana 7.16 ?

I know that Internet explorer is old now and should use latest browsers like Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge. But is there any explanation about that in Elastic stack documentation? I am looking for a Justification.

Please let me know.

Thank you in advance !  
Akhil Patel

Hi Akhil

Here is the support matrix of browsers which Kibana supports.

> **[Support Matrix](https://www.elastic.co/support/matrix#matrix_browsers)**

Best compatible browser for 7.16.x is : Firefox, Chrome , Safari and Edge Chromium.

Kibana uses a Content Security Policy (CSP) to prevent the browser from allowing unsafe scripting, but **older browsers will silently ignore this policy**. This will block access to Kibana for any browser that does not enforce even a rudimentary set of CSP protections.  
Its explained here in the documentation:

> **[Security production considerations | Kibana Guide \[7.15\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.15/Security-production-considerations.html#csp-strict-mode)**

Hope this helps

Thanks  
Rashmi
