Peer-to-Peer Cloud Edition is compatible with any up-to-date browser.
Note: If you try to access Peer-to-Peer Cloud Edition on a non-compliant browser, you will reach a page that alerts you and provides links to download a compliant version. Mozilla Firefox must be version 3.6 or higher and Internet Explorer must be version 9 or higher in order to work.
Not all HTML5 compliant browsers are considered equal by experts.

However, Peer-to-Peer has been also been tested and should work without issue in the latest versions of Firefox, Safari, and IE (version 9 or newer).
