Hi Laura,
We tend to follow our central IT browser support guidelines (although for some reason unknown to me, Google Chrome isn’t on the list, which we do support for our instance of Sakai): http://its.virginia.edu/support/home.html#browsers

The only browser we don’t recommend is MicroSoft Edge it has done some odd things.
Otherwise we use them all as long as they are the most recent version we haven’t seen any issues. Sometimes we’ll have a user change browsers if they have a consistent problem.

Defining what “support” means is trickier than you might think. Under the premise that “untested code is broken code,” the jQuery core team prefers to say we fully support a browser if the project regularly runs unit tests against that browser. The unit tests ensure that every API returns a consistent set of results in all browsers.
Sakai doesn't have browser based unit tests, we only have QA testers that test in actual browsers. From what I've seen in the QA reports, typically testing is done on Chrome/Safari and Edge. So supported in the Sakai world is typically defined based on which browsers the QA testers are using to test the release.
Supported could also be defined as which browsers will get priority for bug fixes. Generally Chrome gets top priority. We like to at least have it "functional" in IE 11. For instance Gradebook NG didn't work at all in IE 11 in an early Sakai 12 release and that was fixed. But there are known issues with IE 11, I believe around some edge features like audio recording.
Support can also depend on our libraries and what minimum versions they allow. Currently the 2 big ones jQuery and Bootstrap claim to support the "latest" Chrome/Firefox/Safari/Edge as well as back to IE11.
Sakai's 12 statement is the same as Sakai 11's [2] in that various versions of IE "should work", but as Ben said are generally really low in usage and not often reported about as far as issues.
Sakai 12 is designed to work with modern browsers. Recommended browsers (those with the most QA testing effort against them) are Google Chrome, Safari, and Mozilla Firefox. Microsoft Edge and IE 11 should work fine. If you are upgrading from an earlier version of Sakai (pre-Sakai 11), please make sure that you don't have the property X-UA-Compatible:IE set, or it may make Microsoft IE 11 behave as though it is an earlier browser version and therefore not work. Sakai should work on most modern tablet and mobile devices.

Hi Laura,
In testing Sakai 11, I found issues recording responses to Tests & Quizzes Audio Recording questions in IE and Safari, so I recommend students use either Firefox or Chrome when taking a test with one of these types of questions in it.

We tend to recommend Chrome which makes up almost 50% of what our users are actually using.

Subject: [sakai-user] Supported Browsers with Sakai
We seem to be running into vague and usually unresolvable issues where IE11 is involved. Rarely do we get to the bottom of them as users disengage as soon as they find something that works.
Do any of you issue "supported browser" statements for Sakai? If so, would you mind sharing what you've come up with?
Thanks,
Laura
