Is compatibility with Internet Explorer still a thing? Should you also mention it is not compatible with Netscape then?

Unfortunately, yes. Some enterprise environments that really like single-sign on continued building new, greenfield applications specifically for IE right up until Microsoft announced its EOL date. Denial and institutional inertia are a hell of a drug, and MSFT certainly didn't help matters by regularly reminding people that they were "committed to supporting IE for the life of the operating system it is installed on."

A few months ago my organization stopped making devs support IE, but making testers stop reporting issues in it is still an uphill battle every day, so knowing off the top of my head which bugs are almost certainly caused by stubborn testers refusing to use any other browser saves me a lot of time.
