Which browser should I use?

For many tasks a current version of most browsers (Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Internet Explorer) is all you need. However, there are a few tasks that can only be done in Internet Explorer (IE). If you use IE you need to make sure that a couple settings are completed.

Internet Explorer (IE) only tasks

There are several tasks that you can only do from IE. If you attempt to do these tasks you will see an error message, like the one copied below, stating that you must have a "Microsoft SharePoint Foundation-compatible application." That just means that you will need to use Internet Explorer to complete the task you want to do. Most of these tasks involve another Microsoft application like Excel or Access. One exception is Microsoft Outlook. You can connect a list, shared document or calendar to Outlook using any browser.
