4.1 Recommended browsers and caching setup

The web interface was designed such that most common browsers supporting Java and Javascript should work. However, for best results, the use of the latest versions of Mozilla / Firefox or Microsoft Edge is recommended.

If caching is enabled on a user's browser, it is possible that some pages are not updated correctly (for example the navigation tool or the results reported to the user when clicking ''Check Proposal''; see below). To avoid this, the size of both the disk cache and the memory cache of the browser should be set to 0 while using XRPS.

For details about the best supported versions of browsers and Java, the correct browser settings and reported problems, please look also at the related link on the XRPS entry page.
