๐ŸŒ Browser Support

SunEditor is built to take advantage of modern browser capabilities.
It does not ship with polyfills by default, but you can add them if your project requires broader compatibility.

Works correctly on the following versions or newer.

Browser โ‰ฅ Version
Chrome 119 (Oct 2023)
Edge 119 (Nov 2023)
Firefox 121 (Dec 2023)
Safari (macOS, iOS) 17.0 (Sep 2023)
Opera 105 (Nov 2023)
Android WebView 119 (Oct 2023)
Samsung Internet 23.0 (Oct 2023)
Firefox ESR 128 (Jul 2024)

โŒ Not Supported : IE, Legacy Edge

๐Ÿ“Œ Why This Baseline? (Late 2023)

  • This is based on features commonly supported by modern browsers.
  • Most modern web APIs and CSS features are supported reliably in versions after this point.
  • Unless specific compatibility issues arise, you can use it out of the box without additional polyfills.
  • If you need support for older browsers, you can extend it by adding your own polyfills.

๐Ÿ“ฆ Legacy Version (v2-legacy)

* Supported IE11

SunEditor v3 is the latest version.
This section refers to the previous stable version, SunEditor v2.

The v2-legacy branch is no longer actively maintained,
but still available for compatibility with older projects.

๐Ÿ‘‰ v2-legacy branch
