Other Cool Stuff About This Plugin

**New in the 1.5 update**: Now, you can fully restrict access if the user’s browser fails to meet the requirements and display a tailor-made HTML message instead—more info on this update here!
**Plus:** Set a ceiling on supported browser versions for all major players. Need to block unknown browsers? No problem! This tool gives you the power to show notifications when users are not equipped to handle your state-of-the-art site.

Guess what? You can flag which browsers you want to support:
– **Firefox**
– **Chrome**
– **Safari**
– **Opera**
– **Internet Explorer**
– **Edge**

Customize your warning message, choose whether to show links to download the right browsers, and control when and how those pop-ups show up. Let them hide the popup if they meet the criteria—set a cookie that clears after 24 hours if they do. Or simply keep it popping every single time they come back with an outdated browser!

Limitations
