It's understandable to update the targeting platform every year. For 2025, I'd like to make a small change to the upgrading policy. Instead of blindly updating the version numbers, we try to match the ESR (stands for extended support release) or LTS (stands for long term support) versions in two years for the specific platform.

This makes the targeting more reasonable, because the specific version we blindly use may not actually have enough users. LTS versions have users for sure.

My proposal on the updated targeting platform:

  • Firefox: 98 -> 115 (ESR from 4 July 2023)
  • Chrome -> Chrome and Edge: 84 -> 108 (ChromeOS LTS)
  • Edge: merged to Chrome because of the same engine
  • Safari -> Safari for macOS: 15.4 -> 15.6
  • iOS -> Safari for iOS: 15.4 -> 15.6

Safari does not have LTS - So we try to match the version with updates in recent 3 years.
